Prevent users browsing and connecting to printers 1

[pancake]

We are a school, and have students that know how to browse for a printer, and then connect to print. If they are in one room I want them to use the printer in the room they are in only and not be able to go browsing for another.

Is there a way that I can prevent the browsing and connecting ?

If I change the security permissions on the printer share then they cannot ever connect if they change room, this isn't useful, and I have also tried the GPO, but it does not prevent browsing from within applications.

Thanks in advance

Porkchop,

Sorry for the late responce. Yeah, I've used it plenty of times. Just to make sure, I tried it again and it works.

Make a group under AD, assign computers to it. Under the computer that has the share, add that group and hit deny.

Works like a charm
