Situation:

Numerous rooms with their own network printers.
Numerous PCs per room.
One PC image.
Lots of student users.
All clients on XP.
Windows 2000 print server.
If room is called X, clients are named X-1, X-2 etc and
printer is named X-printer


Desired Operation:

I'd like to put all the printers into the image, but this
will mean students will send things to print at the other
side of the school, wasting paper, time an dgenerally been
annoying.
Is there a way to make it so that they can only print to
the printer in the room they are logged into at that moment?

I mean, the computers will have all printers installed, but
something will check to make sure the print job submitted
is from X going to X, and if X is going to Y, it won't print?
