auto switch printjob to idle printer

Hello,


Printjobs from a "database-job" is feeding - depending on the printjob -
either a laser- or a matrixprinter.

How can printjobs (coming from WXP-clients) be automatically
be moved to a second/idle printer ? (without the need that
the users need to make any intervention, e.g. like selecting
an other pinter ?


If that is not that much automatable, is it possible that Cups
would - immediately after firing a job to a busy printer - send a
"message" to the XP-client "printer yxz is busy please select
an other printer" ?


Any tips are appreciated very much (probably there are much
better approaches available) !

Thank's,   John
