Even if you used a Clustered Print Server, its an all or nothing situation. IF the Printer is down, its not going to magically come back up on the other node and start working, you would have to fail the print server over to the other node.
You could try printer pooling, or redirection, but that is going only gain you so much and really doesn't meet your end-state.

Do you know if there is a way to have the printers on several servers so that if one went down the users would be able to continue to print without any issues? ---_______________________________ Cameron Cooper IT Director - CompTIA A+ Certified Aurico Reports, Inc Phone: 847-890-4021 Fax: 847-255-1896 [email protected] ~ NEW: CounterSpy Enterprise: Centralized Antispyware - #1 in eWEEK Test! ~ ~ ~ ~ NEW: CounterSpy Enterprise: Centralized Antispyware - #1 in eWEEK Test! ~ ~ ~ ~ NEW: CounterSpy Enterprise: Centralized Antispyware - #1 in eWEEK Test! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/product.cfm?id=400> ~
