Printer Deployment

I'm looking for a simple way to deploy 4 AS400 printers:

    4224 with invoice forms
    4224 with green bar; 15cpi, 51FL, 48OF, FW198
    4224 with white; 15cpi, 51FL, 48OF, FW198
    3812 with plain white paper

There is no problem with the 3812 as it seems do do everything we want
automagically.
There is no problem with the 4224 with invoice forms because only invoices
are printed there.

The question is with the other two printers.

It seems the printer attributes (15cpi, 51FL, 48OF, FW198) are controlled by
a print file (ie:  qsysprt).

Is it best to make a unique print file for each printer (ie:  qsysprtp3)?
However, some jobs grab qsysprt anyway and print in 10cpi default, etc.

or

Is it best to make use of an override print file?  But where?
