Subject: Insertion of certain definitions, in predefined order

I'm trying to manage a printers.conf file for all workstations in the office. 
Addition or removal of a printer has to be as easy as installing the printer 
and adding the printer definitions to a Cfengine policy; I don't want to have 
to copy ppd's to all workstations on my net.
I currently achieve this by matching the printers.conf file to a file on the 
server, and if that doesn't match, copy it and mirror the complete ppd/ 
directory. Downside of this approach is that user cannot add other printers, 
i.e. printers they use at home.

I have tried this using Cfengine's line management, to no avail. Cfengine seems 
to screw up on a couple of lines; the addition of the first printer definitions 
goes without a problem, when adding the second printer it feels that some lines 
of the definition are already in the file, and omits those. I have posted a 
thread about this before, but this still does not seem possible. I want a block 
of text, treated as one line. Is this possible?
