adding printers with kickstart

I'm trying to add a couple of jet direct printers using kickstart. So
far I've tried:

1) Add them on one machine using princonf, then copy the generated
/etc/printcap to /etc/printcap.local on all the clients.

This fails to generate the script.cfg files under /var/spool/lpd

2) Add them on one machine using princonf, then create a tarball with
/etc/printcap and /var/spool/lpd, and untar this on all the clients.

This creates all the correct files, but they get zapped by
printconf-backend when lpd is restarted

3) Add them on one machine using princonf, then  copy /etc/printcap  and
/etc/alchemist/namespace/printconf/local.adl on all the clients.

This works, but seems a bit convoluted (I only found this file by
strace'ing printconf). Is there a simpler, more obvious way?

BTW this is for a 7.2 install, with LPRng.

Regards,

Chris
