I have a server here that has no GUI installed.

No gnome, xfce, or any other.  And I want to install a printer.  It is
an HP8610 and I have the url for it.  I strangely thought that
system-config-printer would work, but that also requires more than just
a text window as I get:

# system-config-printer

Oh, yes, no monitor at ALL.  Only a serial console or SSH terminal.

So you did not get any further than I. Seems like printer support is requiring a desktop to configure? That is sad.
