Redundant print server in a MS network

We have 2 domain controllers for redundancy reason. I believe this is common practice so that if one fails, users will still be able to login and authenticate w/ the other one.

If I were to set up printing on the DC's, does anyone know if there's a way to do it so that if one fails, I won't have to set up printer on client machines and point them to the other DC? (right now printing is set up on only one of them)

 
One way to accomplish this is via a cluster. 2 physical servers using MS cluster services, create a virtual print server and then if one server fails, the virtual print server fails over to the other physical server.

Not sure on using DCs for that. My view is that DCs do nothing but being a DC and handle nothing more than DNS, DHCP and WINs if that much. I suppose you could cluster the DCs as well but have never done that.
