However, I found that if one of the printers goes wrong (e.g. paper jam, go offline, network problem), all other print jobs would also be blocked in the cups spooler.  Is it possible to configure cups so that different print queues would be working independently?

Cups itself has no such feature in the 1.1.x branch, but this is 
available in the 1.2.x branch... There is a way to do this in 1.1.x, by 
adding the 'beh' backend error handler.

You can find more about this at:

Good luck!
