the "correct" way to do it is to recreate the printer queues on the DR box ...
an easy way to do it is to just copy /etc/printers.conf, if exists, from the production box to the DR box ...
a non-tested way to do it is to copy everything in /var/spool/lp at a time when the print queues in the production box are empty and then copy those over to the DR box ...
pick whichever works ... good luck!
