I would use this shell command: /usr/bin/lpadmin -d <name of printer>

Does anyone have a script for OS X (10.2.6) that I can bandit and

I need to set default printers for each of our various cluster areas
(I know, the printers are all in the popdown menu in the print
dialog/sheet, but the students are still sending print jobs to the
wrong places) and it needs to run from our generic setup image.
Each cluster is on its own subnet, so what I think I need to do is
1) grab the IP address, 2) cut out the third digit which represents
the subnets at ND, 3) match that up against a table of known
locations, 4) set the printer for that area.
Does this sound reasonable? Does anyone have something that does
more or less this that I could use?
