Yasir,
do a "man lpadmin" for a introduction to online.
Printer definitions are at /usr/lib/lp/model

Yasir,

I use the attached script to mass add my dozen or so printers. For the most part, they are network attached nowdays, and use "removequeue" and "addqueue", but the logic is there to do it the old fashioned "lpadmin" way, too. Hope this helps.

Dear Pete,

I believe you did not attach the script you are talking about.
