Papercut Mobility Print on Chromebooks - Granular access

[synaesthesia]

Is it possible to have any sort of granular access with Mobility print?

Currently ours is pretty open and we've had to be careful with who gets it to prevent abuse - pretty much just 6th form and Year 11 have access.

We're not 1:1 on devices but quite a few chromebooks dotted around various departments.

In an ideal world I'd like to be able to publish only certain printers (easy enough) but only allow certain users to be able to use those certain print queues or better yet, users of a certain batch of chromebooks only have access to print to a certain published printer (such as our DT department chromebooks to the DT printer).

I can't see anything documented that says this is possible and wary of overcomplicating what we have. Google Workspace settings have the same deployment method for all users (as it's a user policy rather than machine).

Has anyone been able to achieve anything like this please?

Might have to get NG or MF to restrict by printer

You could probably use papercut scripting to achieve to this.

 

I don't think it can be interactive, so you'll need to send an email informing user rather than a popup.

Cheers. We're on MF already. Have finagled it a bit as we are a single print queue school with only 8 devices. Added a other virtual printer with permissions locked down and added that to the Chromebooks. Not perfect but it'll be better than nothing

With MF there should be a "Group Restriction: Specify which groups should have access to this printer"  for the DT Printer itself.
