  • 1.  SEP and Printer Blocking

    Can SEP be used to block printers?  

    This would be a personal printer .. We have some remote workers and want to block printing.  They would have a company owned laptop with sep installed .. 

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    I have Few Questions here.

    Are these SEP on the Laptops installed as Managed Clients?

    Do you want to block the users of the Laptop from printing OR using a Personal Printer?

    Would this Personal Printer be a specific Printer or Any Personal Printer?

     

    You could block using Printers via Application and Device Control of Symantec Endpoint Protection (incase, if the Clients are managed)

     

     

    You can also block Print Screen with the help of Application and Device Control.

    You can also do this via Microsoft GPO
