How can I configure CUPS in RHEL to fail-over from one printer to another
Issue
- We have a set of printers, say
P1,P2,P3,P4located in the operations space in the said order. We wantP1jobs to fail-over to the adjacent printerP2,P2jobs to fail-over toP3orP1,P3jobs toP1,P2etc Each printer,P1..P4has its own dedicated application print queue, so we want CUPS to handle the printer fail-over. We do not want CUPS to round-robin print jobs betweenP1andP2, orP2andP3because each printer has its own dedicated application and we don't want jobs to show up on the "wrong" print queue unless the "correct" print queue fails.
