Hello, I want to know if there is any way to setup password on printer so nobody else can print from the same wifi, as my wifi is shared with other people?

@Installer2, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

No, you cannot set up a password on the printer to stop people from printing when they are on the same network as the printer. Instead, I'd suggest you create a guest network for others to access the WiFi while you can have a home network to connect your personal devices.

 

I hope that answers your concern adequately. Let me know!
