Probably the right long-term answer is to query something on the order of Hesiod for a list of cluster printers and regen printers.conf out of that, but in the absence of someone writing such code, I don't think there's any harm in pushing changes to cluster-cups-config that just affect the list of printers immediately after testing, since it's not really a code change.
Well, the long term answer is that cluster-cups-config won't exist anymore, and regular cups-config will add the "mitprint" Pharos queue, and be done.
