Restrict Printing based on User?

Is there any way to restrict certain users from printing a report (or
even exporting it)?
If so, what is the difficulty level on a scale of 1-10? I received a
request from a user to prohibit some users from printing, but I would
argue that if you don't want them to print it, they probably shouldn't
even see it.
Still, I'm curious as to the feasibility.
Thanks,

everybody. Same thing with the new printing control, everybody or nobody.

printing them.. Even if you find a way to do that, they'll still be
able to use "Print Screen" and then print out the screenshot...
