I'm not sure I understand your goal....you want users to submit print jobs

to the first print server, which will then send the jobs to the other one? I

don't think this is possible. Why would you not simply have the users go

directly to the destination to print?

Your question is not much clear,

 

is this second printer become a faulty or it also working

 

if the printer is become faulty while print jobs are in que You can redirect print jobs to other printer by just add Local port in ports(\\printspool\EngrLab_Alpha) tab in the faulty printer then all the jobs qued in the printer will go to working one

We have a large set of teaching Lab machines with statically added

printer the fellow admining the lab machines doesnt want to change

them right now so I was hoping to start sending jobs to the new

spooler via the old one because the new spooler does page accounting

(IE no pay no print)
