Roving User Printing Across VPN

Hello all,

I have a problem with restricting a specific user to print locally,
regardless of where they login in our VPN.

If a user is logging in at one of our satellite locations, I need that user
to be able to print to one of the local printers at that office.
Unfortunately, they print to the main office's printer, which has caused
some problems with sensitive corporate information being printed erroneously
at the main office afterhours, which meant the user had to drive in from
wherever they were and retrieve the documents from the printer.

Is there a way to create a policy for the user to map their default local
printer to match their location?

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Well you could assign security to the printer queues to only allow certain
users be able to print to certain printers. You might also be able to take
printers offline based on a time scenario as well. From the networking
perspective I am not sure of a way to do that.
