Poor man solution: A weekly printmig job runs on all print servers backing all the printer queues up. The job send the results to a share on a file server. If a print server goes down, its printmig backup is restored into another print server, the clients are instructed to point their printing to the other box. Once the old server gets back online another restore of its printmig files takes place and life goes on and on.
