Isn't that overly complicated (and error prone)?

Isn't it simpler (and more reliable) is to run the "lpadmin" command for each printer (with the right parameters which you can derive from "lpstat -v" [and "lpstat -l -p" if you require to know the "Description" and "Location" and "Banner" and .... fields]. That's also easily scriptable...

The lpadmin command will automatically create the correct printers.conf entries.
