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).
