If only this is the case, illegal users on the local area network may also use the shared printer, causing the "cost rise" in printing costs. In order to prevent illegal users from sharing the printer at will, it is necessary to limit the use of the printer by setting the account usage rights. By setting the security properties of the printer installed on the host, you can specify that only a valid account can use the shared printer.
