V1.4.x question
##################################################
We have a very larger printer environment and we want to move all the printers to another datacenter environment.
Printing is very critical in the environment.  In order to not use cups polling/browsing in case of network issues, and timeouts, and not doing a
big bang approach I wanted to see if the following question is possible.

Because you can only put one servername in the client.conf  is it possible to forward print jobs from one print server
To another print server without browsing/polling.  Is it possible to hit the queue on print server #1 and have the queue forward the
job to the other print server?  This would allow us to slowly migrate the printers to the new environment without risking/testing the large
Environment at one time.

Let me know if this is possible
