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
 
Re: Print server question about "relaying"

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)
