    The discussion got me started thinking about the problem of printer 
    deployments and ways to solve it that could work for the vast majority 
    of deployment solutions. After some research and testing, I’ve developed 
    a solution that may work for most deployment needs. For more details, 
    see below the jump.
    
    My solution was to build a script named 
    payload-free_package_printer_generator.sh, which does three tasks:
    
         Accept printer configuration input.
         Use that input to generate a script which uses the lpadmin tool to 
    create printers with the provided configuration information.
         Generate a payload-free package to run the script.
