I have a homenetwork with 2 computer with cable and one with wifi access. I want only those 3 computers to have access to my network printer, so if a friend connect with my wifi or with a cable, he wont see my printer or at least he cant use my printer to print. Maybe with a password protections or a permission from printer properties? I tried to deny to everyone except the users i want but i cant add other network users, only my personal laptop. Any help?

Ps: The printer is HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276n in case that this help
 
K, you're gonna need a roll of black electrical tape, a screwdriver, scissors and a ruler. Use the screwdriver to open the tape. Find the label on your printer, carefully measure a length of black tape and cut it to the size of the printer manufacturers label. Cover the manufacturers label. All kidding aside, if no drivers, can no print? If you give type of printer (make and model) maybe some one here knows about it. I know depending on what you have it is possible, but I'm not top notch at printers. It may be you need a way more expensive printer to get that functionality.

Seriously now? Is that a kind of answer? Its a network printer, so if you go to devices and click add new printer, it will find and then you can easily download the drivers. Even from a tablet or mobile you can add it.
