Can be done via commandline/script with the lpadmin command.
To replicate the printer information just copy the necessary files to 
the other system. If it is a client as well, cupsd.conf can be copied 
together with the other files (printers.conf, lpoptions, etc.). If it is 
another server, don't miss to correct cupsd.conf .
