[cups.general] Best way to add remote cups printers to osx?

[Jason Aladellocchio]

I've got a cups 1.4.1 print server which I shared the printers on to 
Linux clients via ldap browsing without issue.     I've been asked to 
look at making the same printers available to osx clients at the company 
that I work at.    I'm unsure of the recommended way to handle this though.

I've taken a look at altering the cupsd.conf configuration on the OSX 
machines and can via ether setting up ldap browsing lines or browsepoll 
lines make the printers get listed via lpstat on the command line. 
However gui osx programs don't show any of the printers unless I go into 
  System Preferences -> Print & Fax -> + -> select the printer -> add
and actually select one of the shared printers to add.   That then makes 
it show in gui printers but I can't work out what changes at a cups 
level to make it visible.

Considering I have 40 printers x  100 mac clients and most of the users 
are the type that can't work out how to add a printer I'd like to find a 
cups config that makes all the shared printers how up in the list 
without any additional work being needed.  (and yes I now in osx 10.4 
there is a 'shared printers' list available in the printers list, on 
that 10.6 shows local printers in the print drop down for easy addition. 
  unfortunately these clients are 100% 10.5.)

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

p.s.  The printer list changes every few weeks as printers get added and 
removed so anything involving adding each printer would create a large 
administrative overhead.   We really just want to make the osx printer 
list autoupdate as the cups server changes (like how the linux clients do).
