Selective Printer Sharing


If you have an inkjet or laser printer connected to your Mac via USB, you can share that printer with other users on your network. And if you have multiple printers connected to your Mac, you can share all of them. Your Mac must be turned on and awake for printer sharing to work, but it sure beats having to buy a printer for every computer in you home or office.

Hereis how:

  • Launch System Preferences. You can find it by choosing Apple menu > System Preferences.
  • Select the Print & Fax Preference Pane.
  • Click the Sharing tab.
  • Check Share these printers with other computers.
  • Now uncheck any printers you donit want to share.

Uncheck the printers you donit want to share.
