Redirection in CUPS?

Hi,

is there a function in CUPS that is similar to "lpc redirect"? We are using CUPS and have a number of printers here with lots of jobs. Sometimes a printer has a failure and all jobs in its queue should be redirected to another printer.

At moment my solution is the following:
Delete all Jobs on the broken Printer
Stop Printer
Start jobs manually again. (Print the same things again out of the application, but this time to another printer)

Is there a possibility to "reuse" the existing Jobs in the queue of the broken Printer? Any Hints for a Workaround, Shellskript or RTFM?


TIA
Phil
