You are aware that this only works if the clients did not have their own
default printer defined ??

Any user can define his personal default printer, and any root/admin can
define a system-wide default printer.

User-set default printers override admin-set system-wide default printers.

Admin-set, system-wide default printers override network default printers.

Local default printers are stored in '~/.cups/lpoptions' (for users) and
'/etc/cups/lpoptions' (for system-wide defaults).
