RDP Printing by station

Hi All;

I will be implementing an app on a group of terminal servers and am
running into an issue that I haven't got figured out yet. Please, if
this is the wrong group feel free to suggest another for me!

The environment will be a group of 2003 terminal servers locally with
an app and database installed local to them. The RDP clients will be
connecting from remote sites and/or home users. The RDP client
machines will NOT be part of the AD domain that the Term Servers
participate in. Those client computers are also not under my
jurisdiction, therefore I can not impose security restrictions on them
other than via terminal services.

So, the problem is that I have to be able to disallow certain stations
from being able to print at all through terminal services.

For example:
Station 1 is allowed to print.
Station 2 is not allowed to print.
User 1 is allowed to print.

So, allowing/disallowing print access is easy on a per-user basis, and
if the terminals were part of my AD domain then I could deal with
station level printing, but since they are connecting to terminal
services I'm stumped. I need user #1 to be able to print from Station
1 but not from Station 2.

I've reviewed WTSQuerySessionInformation on MSDN, but not being a
programmer I don't really understand this from a practical sense. From
a general perspective what steps should I be taking to deal with this?

Secondly, in the WTSQuerySessionInformation, is the WTSClientHardwareId
the MAC address of the RDP client?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Jef
