You can go basic (and cheap) by using the printer management in the CMC.
Once your queues are on windows, you can "Import Print Server" in the
CMC, which pulls in all printer shares. You can then assign NT groups
or users to those imported printers, which show up as auto-created
printers when the user logs on. Of course, since they are auto-created,
you need to make sure the drivers are set up right. When a client
connects, the printer is created, and then deleted when the user logs
off. According to the way auto-created printers work, you should be
able to make sure that the users only see the ones they're supposed to.

Subject: [THIN] printer management
We have 300 network printers and 3 XPa Farm servers. We will soon be=20
migrating these printers to queues on Windows servers from Novell. We
want=20
to try and keep the users from having to scroll through a list of
printers=20
to get to the one(s) they wish to print to. Does anyone know of a way to
partition them out? Do any of the 3rd party print management solutions
help=20
with this? Do any of them handle security? Do any of them propagate to=20
other farm servers for you?
Thanks for the insight.

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you
know, in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest
constraint to scaling up?! Get this free white paper to understand the
real constraints & how to overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather
than buying more servers.
