Hello, I have a question, how to Prohibit a Specified User to connect a network printer (I created some traffic rules, but they did not worked)
Here is an example:
The local network is 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1-50 are static IPs)
I have a network printer in my room, but other people are also connecting to it (The printer doesn't have a user access list to block)
Is it possible to block other users from the traffic rules that they couldn't connect to that printer? (The printer has static IP 192.168.0.20)
How to set the traffic rules?
Thank you

Simple solution:
1. Put the printer inside another subnet (your computer is in subnet A, the printer in Subnet B)
2. Make sure the firewall is also connected to subnet B with a network card and is able to ping the printer
3. Reinstall the printer on your computer (its now on another subnet, so it can not find it anymore on the old IP address)
4. Create a traffic rule that allows / disallows connections from subnet A to subnet B
