Use special files to prevent LAN from printing at will

In an environment where multiple people use the same computer to work together, printers are often maliciously used by some more self-sufficient people. In the long run, printers will be overwhelmed. In order to effectively protect the printer device, many people want to limit the use of the printer to prevent the printer from being used at will. But in this way, it is easy for others to see that the printer has been artificially handed, which is very easy to hurt the feelings of colleagues or friends. In order to politely refuse to use the printer freely by colleagues or friends, and to let colleagues or friends not see that the printer's access rights have been done, we can achieve this control by cleverly creating files:

For some models of printers, sometimes we need to open the printer application control interface, and then through the corresponding function commands in the corresponding interface, in order to get the printer to work; now we just have to find a way to make ordinary users unable to start The application corresponding to the printer can achieve the purpose of preventing others from printing at will. The following is the specific implementation steps of the method:

First click the "Start" button on the desktop of the computer system connected to the printer. Then pop up the system "Start" menu, select "Programs" /"Accessories" /"Windows Explorer" option, open the local system Explorer window, find the installation path corresponding to the printer application in the window ;

Next to the printer application Install the folder, then right-click on the blank area of ​​the folder window, select the "New", "Text Document" command from the pop-up context menu, and then set the new text document name to "ws2_32". At the same time, the extension of the text file is set to "dll";

After completing the special file creation task above, we try to start the application of the printer again, and the Windows system will automatically pop up a file error prompt. If you don’t know the colleague or friend who sees this, you will think that this is a problem with the printer application. I don’t think it’s what we’re doing, so we’ve implemented a courtesy to reject others’ use of the printer. The purpose of the future! In the future, if we need to run the printer application, just open the system explorer window, enter the printer's application installation folder window, delete the previously created "ws2_32.dll" file directly Yes. However, one thing to remind you is that this method works only for printers connected to Windows 2000 and above, but not for printers connected to Windows 98.
