Disabling USB printer on network.

**Agamemnwn** · 29-01-2009

Hi,
I want to disable the USB post on my printer so that people in my office wont be able to attach their notebook to it & get printouts on network.
Is there anyway to stop this because the office members just downloads the driver & use the printer for their personal use & I want to stop this.
Please help me with this situation.

Thanks in advance.

Well I don't know how to do this on OS level but what you can do is just terminate or disconnect the USB cable of the printer internally.
Lets see if someone comes up with solution for you. I hope there will be a solution.
We would like to know your printer specifications.

Hey dont try to do anything internally it will void the product.
I would rather suggest you to stick some plastic with a good quality of glue so that it will be hard to access the USB on the printer & your problem is solved.
Hope this helps.
