Is there a TUI (textual user interface) to configure printers in RHEL?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • I could not find redhat-config-printer-tui on our RHEL 5 system.

  • We need to configure a printer from a TUI (text user interface) in RHEL 7.
    We only found system-config-printer but it seems it works only as a GUI (graphic user interface) not as a TUI .Can you please suggest if we have any tool in RHEL to manage printer from TUI. We are getting the following error for system-config-printer.

    # system-config-printer
(system-config-printer.py:107157): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:37:15.800: cannot open display:
