The correct way to do this is setup the printer on the print server
using cups web interface (localhost:631) and then do nothing on the
clients as far as client.conf is concerned. All computers on the same
LAN will be able to print to the print server. 

Or to me more specific do not use system-config-printer to configure the
printer.
