The capability Ashvin is referring to is built into the printer/printer driver and is no a Windows capability. In other words, his solution will work for only a few printers. It may be the printer you're dealing with has this capability, but the odds are against it.

There's no practical way to prevent someone from using a printer attached to the machine they're sitting at. If they were using a network share to print to the printer it might be a different story. Maybe she can take the USB cable with her when she leaves her desk?
