Blocking printer in SM/EPP

Hi Support,

EPP or SM has the capability of blocking printer?

The printer is using a direct USB port to the computer or laptop to be able to print. How can we block the printer without using a firewall "connection rules" on the EPP or SM?

Looking forward to your response.

Best Regards,
TCSDI

Hi tcsdi_support1,

I'm sorry but you cannot block a printer without using a firewall.

Hi Darth,


Thank you for your reply. We can able to block a shared printer on the Firewall via "Connection Rules" on the EPP.

But if it's possible that SM or EPP can be able to block printer that using a USB port on the laptop/computer?

Looking forward to your reply.

TCSDI

Hi tcsdi_support1,

You can block scanners, mobiles, bluetooth etc with the device control, but I'm afraid you cannot block printers. You can find more information here:

Hi Darth,

Is there any other way to stop users using a printer on the SM or any options?

Hi tcsdi_support1,

No, there isn't any other way.
