I have a Dimension 8300 with XP service pack 2. I have too many people using my printer, a Canon Pixma IP4000, and I run out of ink too often. How do I restrict people from using my printer without my knowledge? Is there an option in xp that can do that? I know about the Control Panel/Printers and Other Hardware/Printers and Faxes/"Right-click corresponding printer"/Sharing/Advanced Tab/"Available From" dialog box that I can set to specific times. But that isn't quite what I want done. I would like to have a password-protected printer. Is there ANY way (xp, outside program) to do this?
