Hi everyone, im new.

 

We have got a few 2600n at our school, all of which are networked. We have a teacher who decides to unplug the cable and plug his macbook into the usb and print which we are not happy about!

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to block the usb from being used??

thanks, will.

the idea is - we dont want him printing from his Mac full stop. He has got a XP laptop (as well) and the printer is sitting in a room with 20 HP desktops, so it's not like he doesn't have access to the printer!

 

He doesnt need to be messing around unplugging cables!!

 

The fact that his department spent 700 on a macbook that wont go on our network is their problem....

 

Thanks for the replies - dhicks i was hoping there was a way of disabling without damaging....

Why not - is there some kind of printer quota issue (understandable - those printers are a tad pricy to run)?

You could leave a USB cable ready for him to plug the Mac into - you could even superglue that in place.

he goes out of his way to make our jobs difficult so this time we are trying to return the favour!!!!

 

It sounds like 1 measly USB cable (possibly glued in to place to stop tinkering) might improve relations with him somewhat - he has the solution he wants and stops bothering you so much?
