There are other methods as well some expensive some not so much. But you need to use Google Cloud Print Service to connect your printer to the console.

Yes you assign the printer to an org in the console. You can set the Chrome Devices to wipe themselves when the user signs out using a setting in the console. You can have them log in with a single account.
