Given this information, if I were setting this up I would allow unrestricted
access to all print queue *except* the one in the staffroom, which would be
restricted to staff users (through group membership). Then I would map
default printers for each terminal as either Frank or I have described
previously. This way the most "logical" printer would be selected by default,
yet the "corridor" printer could be selected from anywhere, and only staff
could select the printer in the staff room.
Try it and see if this is adequate. Perfection is the enemy of good enough,
and in this case your idea of perfection doesn't make much sense to me FWIW.
