Re-directing Print Jobs in Mac OS X

Recently I printed something on my MacBook to a printer that wasn't connected to my Mac instead of the one that was. After printing the document FireFox (3.5 beta) proceeded to crash, so I lost the web page and the information to try and print again. I was pretty sure I was stuck, but not so with the Mac OS X.

A quick search turned up this page that shows that if you open the print queue of the printer you're not able to connect to, along with the one you do want to print to, re-directing the print job is as simple as dragging and dropping the print job from the one print queue to the other print queue. Document rescued!
