limiting printer access to users/groups in XP

Does anyone know how to limit access to the printer in windows XP? I can't find anything usefull on the web. My kids love to play, but aren't quite capable of preventing themselves from hitting the print button in many of their games. Since my printer is networked and accessable from any pc in the house (and my wife and I like to print from them now and then) I don't want to pull the printer off the pcs, but would like to restrict it to just the administrator accounts.

Any ideas?

If this is a shared/network printer, then all you have to do is go to the security tab on the printer's properties and share it only to the users that you want to give access to. Do the same for the permissions option.
