why don't set up an excact copy of this printer server and give it an other 
netbios name.
if the active printserver crashes, you make an entry in the backup server
smb.conf, called: netbios alias = <servername>
then name the alias after your real server, so that the network think's the 
active server is up again.
this way the backup will handel all calles with the active server name...
