CUPS printing through distributed maps

This may be a silly question, but I'm trying to simplify printer configuration on many LINUX boxes.  Ideally, I'd like to use distributed maps, i.e. NIS, NIS+, LDAP, etc., but I can't figure out how to do that with CUPS on LINUX.  The way I do it on Solaris is I share out a printers.conf.byname and set the printers section of nsswitch.conf to files, nis, ldap, etc.

Am I missing something here, or is it just not possible on LINUX with CUPS.
