I am in charge of the printers in my computer lab. There are two of them in two separate rooms. My task is to use C# to give the ability to the computers to connect to the closest printer to that computer as soon as someone logs into that computer.

Find the answer about "what does it mean by Closest Server".
In local network there is no such thing called closest server. All are closer. All requires same cost. But If you want you can set so called close(by means of distance from user chair) then you can set default printer which seems close to the certain computer. If you want to control it remotely then you develop a client/server application. your machine will be server and the user's machine will be client.
In your machine you will set the proper Printer Path / Address in your server. Client will request the server and learn which is chosen as her closest printer and set that printer as its default printer.
Or let me know what else is in your mind
