Installing Printer from terminal in MAC OS 10.6

Hello everyone!

I have 30 Imacs and 1 Xerox DocuPrint N2125. The Imacs are bound to Active and Open directory. The printer has a reservation on a windows print server running server 2003. I manage the Imacs from a Mac OS X server (10.6.4) in conjunction with ARD (v3.3.2). I would like to know if there is a way to send a UNIX command such that the command installs the printer on the client computer. I want to avoid touching each Imac and opt for the mass printer deployment with one click option. Does anyone know how to do this? After I figure out how to install the printer via the terminal, all I have to do is setup a task in ARD which executes that command to the managed machines. Thank you in advance,

-Andres
