Even without the GUI, you don't edit any config files to add a 
printer. The command is "lpadmin -p <name> -E -v <device> -m 
<ppdfile>". You must uninstall system-config-printer before 
doing this, or it will overwrite the changes done from command 
line. See "man lpadmin" and read the CUPS Software 
Administrator's Manual: http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html
