It's kind of low tech, but you could just unplug the USB cable. &nbsp;

Wow, that precise, to the point, and so easy I'm not sure why I didn't think of it! &nbsp;Great job! &nbsp;Works like a dream.

My son plays kids games on my iMac and tends to click the print button. &nbsp;He's disabled so I have no way of telling him NOT to click that button. &nbsp;I know that at least one game on there, a painting game, when it's complete it flashes and makes noise asking the user to print the completed page. &nbsp;Of course he can't help himself to click something like that.<br />
<br />
In any case, I've looked everywhere in the preferences, printer settings itself, user accounts, and even google and can't seem to find a way to disable printing for a specific user.<br />
<br />
I don't want to turn the printer off (it's shared) or remove the paper, delete any jobs he created, and then reinsert the paper either. &nbsp;I need a true and blue method to disable printing on that account. &nbsp;Any help is MUCH appreciated.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
