Printer disaster recovery dillema

We currently have many printers on 1 server, and are looking for a good method of backup and recovery of printers in AD. I am currently using PrintMig.exe to do a weekly backup of all our printers. Our question is , is there some type of DFSish utility that would allow fault tolerance for printers but not use Microsoft's printer clustering? If this is not possible, how could we restore the printers from the PrintMig tool, but quickly and easily get those printers back out to the users without much or no user interaction?
