You can't do it quite automatically, but you can rsync the /etc/cups
directory from a "master" system to each of the clients, and then
restart cupsd if any files change.

CUPS is actually designed to avoid configuring each system to talk
to printers directly, but to have one or more server systems
supporting one or more clients, with the clients managing their own
list of printers and servers...
