Hey all,

I've just got settled in University these last two weeks, you may have noticed my reduced number of posts lately. In my college room I have an airport express connected to WAN (the Uni network), speakers and a USB printer. Wirelessly its almost unbreakable - using WPA2, MAC address filtering (only my ibook) and a closed network. However, I was just sitting in front of my iBook when the printer started printing some random's work!?! I don't understand how this can happen as I thought rendezvous wouldn't broadcast onto the WAN.

Is there any way of stopping this?! Blocking the printer being available to all.

Cheers in advance,

SpaceMagic
 
On your iBook, try System preferences > Print and Fax > Sharing and make sure the sharing box is unticked. Not sure if the Airport Express setup has anything on printer sharing though.
