Hi Kai,

Have you tried using Clustool as indicated in the article below?

278455 How to set up a clustered print server
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=278455

You can also use the Clustool utility from the Resource Kit to migrate
previously existing printer queues on a server to a clustered server. After
that, use the Print Migrate utility to migrate the printer drivers. For best
results, avoid having multiple servers configured to communicate directly
with the same printer.
