After installation of PrintUsage, how to prevent the user from print by TCP/IP without being monitored how to avoid that network user directly print by TCP/IP without monitoring?
The purpose to use PrintUsage on network shared printing is to allow print server to communicate with network printer and make sure the shared printer is the only way for printing. Please refer to the following solutions to fix the above issue:
- On the control panel or manager program of network printer, there is an Access Control List function where you can enter the IP address which has ONLY printing service. Note: Usually, print server also has other network protocols such as NetBios and AppleTalk installed. So please make sure all print protocols except for TCP/IP must be disabled so that the Access Control IP List can function correctly.
- IP restirction can be done on exchanger.
- By setting up VLAN division, we can configure the print server to be the only one that can access the IP segment of network printer, but other users can not. That makes other users have no choice but print through the print server.
