Restrict Document Printing

Hello -
We have MS Word Viewer and MS Excel Viewer installed on plant floor computers so that users can read work instructions.  Often, the users print several copies and throw them away.  Is there a way to disable printing?  We really only want them to view the docs.
Thanks for your help!

Right click on the computer -> Properties -> Security -> Add the security group or user and set Print to Deny
or create pdf files on which you set security to prohibit printing

I'm sorry ... I don't see an option for Print?
I had a typo:

Right click on the <PRINTER> -> Properties -> Security -> Add the security group or user and set Print to Deny
Wouldn't that restrict them from printing anything?  I just want to restrict them from printing certain documents.
