I basically got two answers for my question:

Make one of those sun boxes as your print servers. Create print spools
on
this sun server using Jetdirect for all your printers. After you are
done
doing so, proprogate all your printers to all your sun boxes using the
lpadmin command ( i dont remember syntax from the top of my head ..)
make
sure you specify the option of where your print spool is ( your print
server). The follg when run from a trusted host should achieve your
purpose.

hope this helps,

If you are using NIS, then create a printers.conf map on your NIS
master, and push it out to the clients.
