Not a chance. "Stripes" are not simple recessive traits, and if only one parent is albino, the other doesn't at least carry the trait, you won't get visual albinos.

Try fiddling with The Leopard Gecko Genetic Calculator (http://www.geckogenetics.com/)

Read the FAQ and definitions linked at the top of the page. It's easy to understand, honest. :)

would a jungle bred to an albino do that?

Or would you have to have a het for albino jungle bred to an albino?

You would end up with hets for albino, but no albinos. You would need to breed your albino with either a het for albino or an albino to get albinos. All of your babies will look normal. Maybe you will get lucky and have a few abberants or jungles, but likely not.
