Print Server Cname

Is it possible to use a DNS alias for a windows print server? I'm creating a
simple redundant pair of print servers and want to create an alias for the
server so if the primary server should go down I can just switch the DNS to
point to the backup print server. So far this is not working.

Howdie!

I've had people say that PrintMig was a good tool for things like that:

The reason I think it's failing is because of Kerberos tickets not
working. I'd check the event viewers on the boxes the get behind that.
