I have a similar problem. I want to restrict access to certain printers so 
that print jobs are not sent to the wrong printer - these kids are sending 
print jobs all over the place! For example if they are working in room 22 
say,  I would like the machines there to only see the printer in that room. 
Setting access on a per user basis is realy out of the question when there 
are nearly 900 of them. can anyone point me in the right direction?

garry
