I'm attending University, and I normally have my printer connected to the Ethernet network, so I can print from multiple computers; recently I've had an issue with people from the Internet printing to my printer at will. This has gotten quite annoying because it's wasting both toner and paper, not to mention they prints are at night which is annoying.

In order to alleviate the issue, I connected the printer via USB to my AEBS. However after some testing I can still find my printer on the Internet using Bonjour; the printing (the random ones) has stopped, but I don't want it to start again.

My question is there a way I can force the AEBS to require a password anytime someone is trying to connect to the printer?
