Yes
Concepts
Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 include the ability to connect to
devices that can only connect directly to a print server. Each also includes
the ability to print to a file or redirect print jobs. These functions are
not available from a print server within a Windows 2000 or Windows Server
2003 cluster; however, these functions are available in Windows NT Service
Pack 3 clusters. This functionality was dropped due to changes in the port
monitor interfaces. ClusFilePort restores these printing functions for
clustered print servers in Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003
