is it possible to share the printer only?
When you turn on file and printer sharing, both file and printer
sharing are turned on. Is there a way to turn on printer sharing only? by default, c$ is always shared on windows XP pro, I am not sure about vista/windows 7 home premium. So there is some security risk with file sharing, while there is less risk with printer sharing. The PCs are behind the firewall, however, there is a possibility that the PC used by the kids have trojan or are even hijacked (anti-virus are installed but it's still not that secure). So I only want to share the printer. Thanks.

To add to other posters.
To increase your security level, in Vista, you've got "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security". Under "Inbound Rules", you can check properties of "Server Message Block (SMB)". Check "Scope" tab. Here you can set local and remote IP addresses that are allowed to connect to your network share(s). wrote in message news  When you turn on file and printer sharing, both file and printer sharing are turned on.

Personally I had that problem and chose a printer that had a ethernet connection hooked to my router and basically I can print from any computer in my home but yet not have any sharing turned on.. wrote in message news When you turn on file and printer sharing, both file and printer sharing are turned on.

Hi
What is functionally Sharable on your system if you turn File and Printer Sharing On but you do not enable individually any File Sharing Folder?

I think that I have made it clear that I only want to sharing printer
but not folder. Sharing printer poses less security risk. Even if you don't explicitly share any folder. C$ is only shared by OS and there doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off, as a result, C$ is subject to password cracking.
