We also use Lanspool, and have multiple servers.  Our solution was to
create a minimal rights, password-less user called "printuser" on each 
server.  (We haven't tested the limits of minimal rights - personally 
I'd bet they need none.)  When one needs to print on another server's 
queue, just attach to that server as "printuser" and go ahead and 
capture.

We've not really looked at the security issues - we're doing this to
facilitate a change over - but I'd be interested to hear responses to
this method.
