How to password protect a printer

WinXP Pro

I need to password protect my printer, not just my XP user account.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

 

Hide the printer cable untill you need it..

* Hide the power cable to the printer.(Most can be disconnented quickly and
easily hell even my big network xerox printer can.)

* Tell who ever you wnat to stop using the printer to stop using the printer.

* Disconet the network cable

* Install a second driver for the printer. But the settings are wrong and
doesn't print. set as default printer. (You have to remember to switch
printers)Causes confusion amoungst the troops...

* Charge for every page that is printed. (doc pay.. or pocket money)\

* Switch your system off when you ain't there and switch on bios boot
password.

* In the printers folder right click on the printer > properties > security>
remove the "Everyone" group also remove any other you don't need.

Don't know... need more info on your system is it networked switch off file
sharing and printer file sharing from network settings

Is it a home thing for kids... Give them a kick up the ass if they keep doing
it. Limit computer use. doc pocket money and another kick up the ass.

Is a network printer?
Is it for work enviroment?
Is it for home enviroment?

It's a printer in my home room that my roommates are coming in and using.
It's too hard to hide cables, and I can't lock my room. I want to just
require a password to print.

It's an HP932.

do you want them to be able to use the computer and not the printer or not
use the computer with all it's software? if not use the computer password
protect your account so when they switch it on they can't get on it.
