I found the same problem.  What I've been doing is creating an init
script to run on the first reboot of the machine, which then finishes
the job when CUPS is running.  The script then deletes itself when it's
finished.  Here's an example install script from FAI:

#!/bin/sh
#
# We copy an init script to do the dirty work on reboot, so that we have
CUPS
# running properly, and so on.  It's a dirty hack, but it works.
fcopy /etc/rc2.d/S20installprinter

And the script in question:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -E -plab -D"HP Laser Printer" -vparallel:/dev/lp0
-P/usr/share/ppd/hpijs/HP/HP-LaserJet_4V-hpijs.ppd
/usr/bin/cupsenable lab
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -d lab
rm /etc/rc2.d/S20installprinter

Same strategy works for other things which require a running system to
pull off.
