hi,
you can use "redhat-config-printer-tui". First you configure all your 
printers on a installed computer.
Then you export you current setting "redhat-config-printer-tui --Xexport 
> filename.xml".
Put the "filename.xml" somewhere you can access during the Installation 
for example :
wget -c http://your.server/filename.xml

and import the settings:

"redhat-config-printer-tui --Ximport < filename.xml"
