Shared Printers - Using a DNS record instead of server name for failover

$

I have a Server 2012 Print Server. I plan on creating a second one for failover purposes. I will be installing the shared printers on client PCs using Group policy preferences.  Instead of using\\servername\printer as the path, can I create a DNS record for the server name and use\\dnsname\printer?  That way, if the first server dies, I just edit the dns record to point to the second server instead of renaming the second server and changing the IP of the second server.
