  • 1.  Device Control Policy to block all USB except printers and camera

    Posted Jul 23, 2009 02:18 AM
    Hi,

    I want to implement a Device Control to block all USB devices. However my printers are USB connected. So how do I exclude them from being blocked?

    For keyboard and mouse, I know that I can exclude HID class.

    What about printers? Is there a class that I can exclude? Or do I need to manually add in the device ID?
    What about digital cameras?

    I got alot of printers in my company. Is there a specify printer class that I can exclude instead of adding it one by one?

    You can run the dev viewere on two three systems with the pronter attached to them.
    If your printers share a common class ID then you can exclude that Class ID. But of the printers dont have common Class ID then you may have to exclude them by Device ID.
