Just to follow this up, I had written off lpadmin as not viable, as I had no way to get the correct driver installed.

Until I wrote an applescript to do it.

If you’re looking to do something like this, download your hacked up PPD from a server you have, then use lpadmin to add printers using it.

I don’t know why I didn’t think of it earlier.

Can you not just disable the account through Workgroup Manager? Under Accounts in the 10.4 version of WGM, select the account and uncheck “access account”.

Or have I missed something here?

Using WGM on a client machine that already has the shared printer I want added results in no printers showing up in WGM.

Whilst I would like to ensure that the printers are always there, if the end user deletes their main printer, it’s their fault. And it’s a lot easier to fix one up than two hundred and fifty or so.
