Good luck with making all automatically. I've tried it some years ago 
and about every 3 month there was a desaster in my customers office: 
bugs in cups 1.1 made some "localhost"-queue entries in printers.conf, about 
50 entries per second (endless loop). Real existing queues were delete /  destroyed, load was 
about 3 printing impossible, printers.conf about 10MB size. Stopping and restarting 
cups helped only about some minutes. The endlees loop starting again. But only 
about every 3 months. Next day all was working fine. Office with 10 employees. 

Nobody here or in cups newsgroup could unterstand me and reproduce the bug, 
unfortunately I deleted the printers.conf with 10MB of size. 
Since this experience I prefer switching off all automatism - and my customers are 
satisfied. May be you have more luck or you have a home office with no 
economical importance.
