Share a specific printer or printers when the xPrintServer discovers multiple printers

How do you configure the XprintServer to only share a specific printer to Apple/Chrome/Android devices?


Step 1: Log in to the XprintServer User Interface by typing in "xprintserver.local" or the IP Address of the XprintServer in the address bar of your browser or consult the xPrintServer user guide:

iOS:
See 'Navigation and Printing' starting on page 17 of the online User Guide --

Cloud Print:

Step 2: On the menu, select "Printers"

Step 3: Locate the printers you don't want to share or see on your Apple devices

Step 4: Click on the "Gear" icon on the far right of the printer description, and click on the Hide Printer button.

After Step 4, You will notice that next to printer it will say "Not Shared". To share the printer again, just click on the "Gear" at the end of the printer and click on the Share Printer button.

Note: While the xPrintServer can support multiple printers, it processes one print job at a time. If there are large numbers of users submitting print jobs to multiple printers via the xPrintServer, it is recommended that you use one xPrintServer for every 5-7 printers. This will help assure that printing does not take an excessively long time.
