You're better off using the GUI, the CUPS web UI, or lpadmin: 

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/lpadmin.8.html

or building a package that installs the printer via a script, then push it out 
to users via your change control system:

All of these methods are less likely to result in your changes being 
overwritten by OS updates.
