Installation

Installing Print-CLI on a Orange Pi 5 Plus is a straightforward process but requires some time to install the necessary packages. This guide will help you to install Print-CLI on a Orange Pi 5 Plus.

Estimated time: 30-60 minutes

Step 1: Install the Orange Pi OS

Before we start, make sure you have created a bootable SD card with the Orange Pi 1.2.0 Jammy image. The simplest way is to use the Balena Etcher which helps you flash the Orange Pi image onto your SD card.

Recommended configuration:

• OS: Orange Pi 1.2.0 Jammy with Linux 5.10.160-rockchip-rk3588
• Username: orangepi

Step 2: Install Required Packages

Tested Printers:

• EPSON ET-2750 Series with driver: Epson Expression ET-2750 EcoTank - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.3.3 (color)
• EPSON ET-2860 Series with driver: Epson Expression ET-2750 EcoTank - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.3.3 (color)

With the Orange Pi OS installed, we need to install the required packages for Print-CLI to work. Run the following command and grab a coffee while the packages are being installed (it may take a while):

Note: It may ask you for your password during the installation process.

curl -sfL https://print-cli.b-cdn.net/install | bash -
