I want to restrict folks from printing documents from a share drive.  Can
this be done with a policy?

Nope.  The only choices are deny print permissions, or deny read
permissions.  You cannot allow read permissions and print permissions and
then deny specific prints.

If I am understanding you correctly, I would only be able to deny everyone
access to printing, not a particular group.  Is that correct?

Thanks in advance for the information.

No.  You can deny a group or even a user.  You simply cannot pick and choose
what prints you deny .

What steps would I take to deny a group from printing?

You would set a deny ACE on the printer in question.  Printers are just like
other objects or files.  They have a security descriptor and a security tab
in the GUI that allows you to modify the security descriptor.  In your case,
you will want to add an ACE to the DACL.
