Hello. I need to share a printer for a specific computer on local network only. Means I wouldn’t want to give possibility to other computers on the network to use it. How can I do that? I just know for sure it is possible, but I don’t know how to do it. Thanks.

Where/how is the printer connected? Is it connected locally to the computer?

if it's locally connected, simply don't share it.

Go into Control Panel, Printers and right click the printer you want to share, then select sharing and check the box that allows you to share the printer. Then other on the netwrok will find it as long as the host pc is running.
