Well, you can probably replace the new system's /etc/cups directory
with the old one, which contains your printer setup. I would just oopy
/etc to somewhere, then judiciously replace things as needed. You'll
need to insure that you have the relevant printer drivers available,
if they aren't included by default.

Lately, local configurations are put in files that end with .local
so that is some help. At least for some packages. rkhunter does this
as "rkhunter.conf.local".
