Here is the completed command.

lpoptions -p <NAME> | grep -o "printer-make-and-model='Your Printer make and Model"

That outputs the exact detail I needed!

lpoptions -p SHCSL_209_ColorPrinter | sed -r "s/^.*(printer-make-and-model.*)'.*$/\1/g; s/'//g; s/printer-make-and-model=//g"

This will remove all the unnecessary text, printer-make-and-model=, and the single quotes.

Yeah I'm also able to just use lpoptions -p SHCSL_209_ColorPrinter | grep "'SHCSL_209_ColorPrinter'" and get what I need in a single line response.

While I found where OSX stores the user printer preferences, but copying a "working version of preferences" to the user workstation and directory doesn't set the preferences.

Still investigating. May require a restart when doing this remotely. . .

Full system restart or just the cups service?

Just did a full system restart and no change. While the plist file is there, and the user has owner access to it, the changes don't appear to take effect.

Not sure why.

Nevermind!

lpadmin adds spaces as underscores!

So with lpadmin -p I was able to find the list of printers.

lpadmin -p
Accounting_Printer

And with lpadmin -x Accounting_Printer was able to remove the printer!
Removed Accounting_Printer

Good to know for central administration of Apple devices. What are you using right now?
