Which product should I choose?

• Desktop: for Windows, macOS, and Linux workstations with a desktop environment. It includes the settings UI and tray app.
• Linux Headless: for servers, Raspberry Pi devices, industrial PCs, and dedicated print hosts. It has no GUI and is configured through the print-bridge CLI.

Desktop and Headless both install a command named print-bridge, but they are mutually exclusive products and cannot be installed on the same machine. Installing the Headless deb/rpm package creates the printbridge system user and enables the systemd system service automatically.

See Deployment and configuration for setup details.
