Is it possible to put the print queues in some kind of subfolders labeled accordingly to function, and then assign NTFS permissions on the folders for certain groups of users? This seems a bit extreme, usually users are denied access to certain printers, and told that they are not to use the others, etc. due to budgets, and who's paying for the printers, etc....
This has always worked for me. User education about the politics of using a printer is usually enough.

If these printers are being served from a different machine then it is simple. Place the users into groups and assign those groups share permissions only to the printers you wish them to use.
If the printers are installed locally to the TS then place the global groups you assign the users to in the above example to local groups on the server and assign permissions to the local groups to access only the printers you specify.
Then remove the entry on the security tab for everyone. Do not set everyone to deny or no-one will be able to print.
