Use the CUPS web interface at http://<apple2>:631/ to add and/or manage your printers - replacing <apple2> with the WiFi IPv4 address of the RPi (the one you connect to with the SSH client).
List available printers with
lpstat -p
Set the default printer with the command below - replacing <printer> with the name of an available printer
lpoptions -d <printer>
