Complicated, but doable in theory: Set up print queues based on time for each printer - a series of eight one-hour slots. Grant permissions for each print queue by group. Put students in their respective groups.
It would take some scripting to make happen in any kind of reasonable fashion, but once set up should be fairly manageable. IT would require a CSV file or something like it to have a list of students with room assignments and times from which to populate the permissions groups. For each printer there will be a minimum of eight print queues, assuming that that lunch isn't allowed for printing and that teachers and staff have a separate, unlimited, ability to print to a given printer.
