greetings list. o/s: rhel 4.

i have four printers accessible from lpr that i want to setup on 16  
linux boxes without the need of going to each machine to do so.  i set  
one machine up remotely (system-config-printer) and noticed that the  
workstation name is placed in some of the (cups) config files.

i could write a script to handle this but wanted to know if there was  
something already packaged or a procedure well accepted to handle this  
routine task. the boxes may need to be re-cloned many times within a  
year which is why im searching for automation, so far ive made the  
systems simple enough to do nothing more than a ghost image dump and  
power on to configure and connect to file server and rhn for updates.

thanks in advance for helpful advice.
