Password protect AirPrint

[Sodium Chloride]

I share WiFi network with everybody in my house. If I have AirPrint enabled printer, how do I set it up so that nobody in my house can send the document to my printer except myself? I don’t want to turn it off obviously.

I don’t have a Mac. Only an iPad with iOS 11

(cold) You could use a router that is connected to the printer. The printer is using the shared wifi and the router you can set a password for that.

(warm) You could create another network from the same Wifi Network. I know with FIOS and Comast they will give you two wifi connections.


(hot) You might have to look into your printer settings or on your Mac to see what you can change. If you have a Mac, go into System Preferences - Printer/Scanners - Click on Share Preferences. Then from there set it how you want it. You can deselect Print sharing with everyone.
