I'd like to know what the approved way is too.  Setting up cups seems
like one of the grottier aspects of running a handful of identical
Fedora systems on a network.

So far I've been hacking it via "scp -p" from a preconfigured and
working system. I update:

  /etc/printcap
  /etc/cups/*  (anything with a mod-time after I installed the system).

Hopefully someone will be disgusted enough with this answser to speak up
and tell us the correct way. ;-)
