That is not too far away from what I have running her with ESP-PrintPro.
If your 2 print servers are identical (besides the name of course), your 
printers will be "merged" and clients will print to the first server 
they can reach. If there is not much traffic, this may happen to the 
same server for all jobs. If there is more load and server 1 is not 
reachable or busy, jobs should go to server 2 automatically.
If you want to have it separated from the normal production environment, 
just for use with sap, then you have to configure your sap clients to 
just this one print server. Either by adding a browsepoll directive to 
cupsd.conf or by defining the client.conf file.
The servers should not have a client.conf or a browsepoll command.
Is your problem solved now?
