But how do I add a printer to the system? Any pointers to the right

I think you'll have to use lpadmin, via NSTask, and it's not particularly easy to figure out the right options without knowing a good bit about CUPS, which I don't...

You can do it programatically by sending IPP requests directly to the CUPS server (which is how the lpadmin tool does it) via libcups.

Point your bowser at http://localhost:631 to get documentation on libcups.

To see what requests lpadmin makes to create printers, grab the CUPS source from the Darwin repository or download a snapshot from cups.org.
