We want one of our printer queues to be shared between two
identical PostScript printers.
So, if both printers are operational they will process the
queue with double speed, and if one of them is down, then the
operational one will do all the work.

Does anybody have experience with such a setup?

The printers are remotely driven by a VAX 750 running BSD 4.3 UNIX.
