On the server you want to copy the printers from, do this:

Wow. Cool. One never stops to learn. Mind if I put that tip on the wiki?

Go for it. Hopefully it will save somebody the days of frustration we went through with duplicating printer configs across multiple machines. It also saved us from re-creating 300 print queues on our print server when somebody accidentally wiped them out (alchemist saves the 5 most recent configurations in compressed xml files in /var/cache/alchemist/printconf.local).
