I have three CAD computer classrooms and several printers/plotters in each classroom. I setup all of the CAD student accounts with roaming profiles. Right now the students are setup for all of the printers in all of the CAD rooms. How do I make it so that when a student is in room #1 they only see the printers in room #1 and so on? Can I also make it so that the default printer changes depending on the room they are in?

You assign the people in classroom one to a group (called classroom #1 or whatever)

Then assign security on each printer to allow only access from the people in the correspinding group...

Example, Classroom #2's printer is set up with securityso that only the people in the classroom 2 group have acess.

Hope this helps.

I am giving you the points but the answer isn't really what I was looking for. I wanted a way to totally add/remove specific printers based on the user/group. I found that Kixtart works great for this purpose (and ton's of others.)

Sorry for the delay in closing.
