I was wondering if there was a way in AD to have a redunant print server in
case the main server fails or is shut down. Does such a feature exist or
have
print servers always been doomed with a single point of failure?

Not specifically in "AD" but you can Server Cluster Print Servers.

(I have never personally done this one, but it is listed as one of the
server clusterable services. HTTP printing could be NLB [load
balanced] too.)
