HP Color LaserJet M553
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Good afternoon.  I have a HP Color LaserJet M553 and I am looking to prevent users from connecting and printing.  The Access Control in the web interface looks way different than past interfaces.  I only want two users to use that printer.  Is there a way to allow only those two users to print and exclude everyone else?  I don't know if going through the Security setting in Printer Properties and adding those two and un-checking BOTH allow and deny for Everyone.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thank you.

You can use the Firewall/IPSEC settings under network tab to restrict communication to only the two users pc's.

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by marking my post as an accepted solution. Clicking "yes" on "was this reply helpful" also increases the chances that this solution will help others.

I believe I specified the Address template to allow the 2 IPs.  The IPSec interface is different from the ones I used in the past.  Does HP have an online PDF or a configuration wizard to set these policies?
