[UniMacTech] Students can see Staff printers in 10.5.5

Hi All,
I'm using work group manager to control our users. Both staff and
students have network home directories on the server. All clients and
the server are 10.5.5. The "Staff" group have one list of printers in
their managed preferences, the student a different list.
The problem is that students have access to various staff printers and
can print to any printer.
Strangely if a student accesses the "Print and Fax" control panel in
system preferences they only see their printers. If they print from
an application (say, safari) they see their printers PLUS a list of
staff printers. The names of the printers in this list are not coming
from the printers themselves - they appear to be the same as listed in
the "User's Printer List" for the staff group in WGM.
Has anyone come across this before? Do you think it's got something
to do with Appletalk (which is turned off) or Bonjour?
Any help appreciated!
