    Hiding a Wifi Printer


    Hello. I have two printers in the same household. My work printer is connected via USB and has Wifi disabled because it is only used by me for work related printing. The second is a family printer for everyday use and is not connected to any particular PC, but has wifi enabled so the entire family can use it. I have network discovery and printer sharing disabled on my work PC which has the USB connected printer and no one can access my work printer which is good; however, the family printer still shows as an option on my work PC which is what I'd like to disable. Is there any way to hide that

    :)

  2. Canon printer wifi trouble

    Set a static IP on the printer else each time it switches off and on may get different ip which may not function correctly
    Try
    Delete the Printer after setting static ip

    Devices and printer
    >add printer
    >>Add local printer (not network even though on wifi)
    >>>Create new port - click standard Tcp/Ip
    >>>>enter ip address of printer that set before and any port name
    Select the printer driver from list

    Try a test print to see if working then switch off and on and see if come back online

    untick use offline
    turn printer off and On

    See if comes back online

    Network Printer can either be set by Ip address or Printer network name
    Static ip always the best to set

  3. Canon printer wifi trouble

    Basically, with that kind of wifi printer, I can't turn the printer off ?

    I should probably remove the sleep mode aswell.
