i want to block some computers from using the network printer which is shared on the network...
How are you sharing this printer?
If it is via Samba, then you can just have an allowed list for the $print share or a block list. This can be done either using the username or the ip address of the computers if they have static addresses.
What's the point of a window if it can't be opened

can someone plz tell me how to create a block list step by step
I haven't done this in a very long time but this can be done using the CUPS server itself. This is from my notes:
I have a printer named "HPprinter":
Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf as root:
Add the following to the end of the file:Code:gksu gedit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
Save the file and restart cups:Code:<Location /printers/HPprinter> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.* Allow From 192.168.0.101 Allow From 192.168.0.104 </Location>
The only hosts that can access the printer in this case was local, 192.168.0.101, and 192.168.0.104Code:sudo service cups restart
You would have to substitute:
- your own printer name for HPPrinter
- and you would have to add a new "Allow From ... " line for every ip address that you want to grant access to that printer.
That was it. If it doesn't work then just remove the lines you added and restart cups again.
