The cups client get the information about printers from both servers about the BrowsePoll. I now want to realize that the cups client print to one special server for example servera. And only in case of that servera is not available the client should print to serverb!! Is there any way to set up this?

Enable the failover feature. This means that if Client_A is pointing to Server_A as its default server, should Server_A fails then Client_A will automatically "failover" to Server_B assuming Client_A has a route to Server_B.

Client_A should have "BrowsePoll Server_A" and "BrowsePoll Server_B" in its configuration. Test this by stopping either CUPS server and do an "lpstat -a". If you see a list of printers while either server is down, then your configurations are correct.

Perhaps the experts have a better solution.
