We have a digital copier that also acts as a printer.  This printer has been
shared to a few users.  I need to set up my Accounting department so that the
printer is only available to them during a specific time frame, but is always
available to the other users.  I thought I remember reading that you could do
this, but I cannot find any information about it.  Does anyone know how this
should be done?  Thanks

Printer scheduling is set per printer, not per user.
Setup the same printer twice (two different names).
One available all the time.
One available during a specific time for the Accounting department.
Give Accounting print access to the restricted printer.
