foomatic-configure is a program to establish and configure print queues, drivers, spoolers, etc using the foomatic database and companion filters.
It also comprises half of a programatic API for user tools: you can learn and control everything about the static properties of print queues here. With sister program foomatic-printjob, you can do everything related to print queue dynamic state: submit jobs, and query, cancel, reorder, and redirect them.
