Have you ever used CUPS or are you just talking out of your rear end?
With CUPS the user doesn't even have to know the printserver, the command
would be

lpr -P printer myfile.ps

The printers are automatically created on the users desktop via broadcast
(or polling in our case). I just create new printers on my print servers
and I'm done. CUPS is even so smart to combine printers with the same
name from different print servers into one class and use the servers
kind-of round-robin. All the filtering and everything is done on the
server.
