Limiting access to network printer

by kjcssk Aug 14, 2007 3:12PM PDT

I have 2 printers connected to 1 desktop running XP Home. This computer is connected to a home network along with my laptop. I use printer "A" for myself (work) and access it from both the desktop and laptop. I want my kids to use printer "B" exclusively from the desktop (that's the only computer they use).

Is there any way to limit/ban access to printer "A" without "un-sharing" it?
