I would use printconf instead of lpadmin. It sets up all the

So printconf comes with the system-config-printer RPM, and lpadmin
comes with the cups RPM. Are they "compatible" with each other?
That is, can I (re)configure a printer I set up with lpadmin using
printconf? I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to
remotely reconfigure the printer on the dozen Linux workstations I
manage. It appears the printconf is either a GUI or a TUI, but not
a true command line utility, so it will be more painful to
configure the remote systems.
Having said that, if there is a way to configure the printer just
right on one system, and then copy all the configuration files to
the remote systems, that would work for me as well. But
configuring the printer just so and determining all the
configuration files is where the magic lies...

printconf, runs printconf-backend which runs some python scripts in /
usr/share/printconf. You could look there for the gory details.
as for recreating a configuration, ...possibly..., copying all the
files in /etc/cups from one system to another would do it (and
restarting cups). Have not tried this though.
