Prepared to be stumped :)
I've been locking down printing of excel files at work, via gpo.
I've plugged every whole but one - when inserting an excel file in outlook, a user can right click on the file and choose quick print which will shell out, open excel and and pass a print command, circumventing everything :( There are control identifiers to block quick print from right clicking on an attachment in outlook, but that only works on a received email, not when inserting an excel file as an attachment prior to sending.
 
Well if they are printing to a print server you could look at a 3rd party solution like PaperCut it has the ability to filter and block documents from being printed. I use the free version for tracking printing.

Windows Haiku:

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
