Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/issues/222

Originally assigned to: @maziggy on GitHub.

Problem or Use Case

An additional feature that would be beneficial for our workflow is to allow a printer to be reserved to a specific user group (Admin or other).

Use cases:

Printer requires maintenance or calibration and needs to be taken out of rotation temporarily.
Project is underway that requires special buildplates, printer settings or filament for a short duration.

Proposed Solution

Allow a printer to be reserved to a specific user group (Admin or other). This would be allowed by a permission "Allow to Reserve Printer" per group and performed on the printer cards by selecting the group that is only allowed to print to it.

Alternatives Considered

No response

Feature Category

@maziggy commented on GitHub (Feb 5, 2026):

Some questions that came to my mind:

What happens to already-queued jobs when a printer gets reserved? Remain queued, or error?
Should there be a visual indicator on reserved printers (e.g., a badge or different color)?
Should this interact with manual printer selection? (User picks specific printer vs. auto-assignment)
Should admins always bypass reservations?
