Your neighbour is advertising their printers for use by everyone. Your local CUPS is hearing the advertisments for those printers and adding them to the pool of available printers. You can choose not to hear these advertisments using the BrowseAllow and BrowseDeny directives in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. You prevent other people using your machine's printers by controlling access to the printer's URL, which is in cupsd.conf. For example, to stop other people printing to lp0: <Location /printers/lp0> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 </Location> Cheers, Glen -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
