You [potentially] need to change or copy over several files. cups/cupsd.conf cups/lpoptions cups/ppd/$PRINTER.ppd # for each PRINTER you care about cups/printers.conf We just keep a set of cups tarballs for each network that has different settings. An rpm would of course work, also. If you want things identical, you can, indeed, just clone the /etc/cups/ tree.
