Limit the Printer List to Display Printers from a Specific Print Server

We are just now starting to deploy Windows 7 64bit computers in our department.

We have a new Printer Server that has both the 64bit and 32 bit print drivers installed.  All the printers are published.  

To make it easier for our users to add additional printers as needed, I want to instruct them to just click on the "Add a network, wireless or Blutooth printer" and choose them from there.

However, we have several other print servers on our domian and they don't have 64bit drivers installed.

How can I limit the Printer List to only display printers from that one print server?

I did manage to increase the number of printers displayed through the GPO on the computers, but I don't see any type of filter/limit to a specific print server.

Thanks,

Joe

Thanks, we talked about just doing that but some of our users can't remember server names and "\" versus "/" and they get frustrated.

I can limit it by location, but our other print server uses the same locations.  Maybe I'll change the location slightly if there is no solution out there.

Thanks again.
