Today i came home to a document printed on my printer. It happened to belong to my neighbor. Actually his girlfriends resume. I dont speak to my neighbor and he doesnt have access to my wireless network as far as im aware. I have my network password protected which i believed was safe. is there any way he could have printed to my printer without being connected to my Wifi? or would he have had to be connected to my wifi to be able to see my printer? i have since changed my SSID for my router(nacho wifi) and the password as i dont want others on my internet connection. any insite as to how this would happen without him hacking my wifi?

Hi,

 

They should only be able to print to your printe if they are connected to the same wifi network that your printer is connected to.

 

Another possability, is if you rprinter supports wifi direct and this is not password protected, they could print via this avenue. Please check if your printer is setup via wifi direct by checking your wireless menu.
