Im not sure if Universe can do this by itself.  As far as I know you can
only have one form mounted on a printer.  So, if you your form is say
INVOICE, you could MOUNT INVOICE PRINTER1, MOUNT INVOICE PRINTER2.  However,
Im not sure if this would balance the form printing properly.  The problem
is that you want other reports (Im assuming other forms) to come out on one
of the printers.  Am I understanding the correctly ?  You could have cron
(If using Unix) run something every 10 minutes or whatever is acceptable
mount the other form on the specified printer, sleep enough time to empty
the queue and then remount the first form back.  As far as balancing the
load, you may want to write your own despooler.  Send everything to the
&HOLD& file and have a phantom process keep track of what is printed and to
which printer.  You could also do this as a bash script (if using unix) by
specifing it as your printer driver and let it determine what printer to
send a job to.

We have two system printers, and would like to set up the following
scenario...

One form queue that prints the next incoming job on any of the two printers,
BUT allows us to specify certain reports that need to come out one after the
other (ie on one printer)

Thanks
