Lock control panel

[tpluskota]

I have loads of HP4250TN printers and users keep messing with the settings, I use jetadmin to manage them all but I would like to be able to lock the control panels on the printers, can't seem todo this through jet admin nor can I find the setting on the printer itself.

Any help?

Option 1: Break the user's fingers, and tell him/her to stop messing with things.

Option 2: Disconnect the ribbon cable to the control panel inside the printer. This won't allow people to press the "go" button tho.

Did you set an admin password in JetDirect?



Just my 2¢

You should be able to set the control panel security through the jetadmin, I can't remember the exact way to do it as we recently removed jetadmin as it kept on hanging and taking up a load of cpu on the server.

From memory there are three levels and the highest blocks any access to the control panel (puts an image of a lock next to each menu item).
