Assigning printers to groups

This is a discussion about Assigning printers to groups in the Windows Security category; What is the best way to assign a specific printer to a group of users or to a group of computers?

What is the best way to assign a specific printer to a group of users or to a group of computers? I thought maybe the group policy editor would have an option, but I didn't see one. I have considered running a login script for those users (net use \\server\printer...) but would rather not take that route. I am running an Active Directory domain with mainly Windows 2000 clients but considering a limited Windows XP upgrade. Thanks.

I am only able to set permissions in the Security tab, I want to make specific users use a specific printer. Thanks.
