Well when you use printconf-gui il create the following file                    
/etc/alchemist/namespace/printconf/local.adl                                    
                                                                                
if your machine have all the same config you just have to copy the file in the  
right place                                                                     
during the %post section                                                        
                                                                                
Hope this help
