Is there a way to block users from deleting the printers in a public computer? This tutorial will show you how to use group policy or registry trick to prevent users from removing local and network printers in Windows 10 \/ 8 \/ 7.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Method 1: Use GPO to Prevent Users from Removing Printers<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Press the Windows key + R to launch the Run dialog box, type in gpedit.msc<\/strong> and press Enter. This will open the Local Group Policy Editor.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  2. Navigate to User Configuration \u2013> Administrative Templates \u2013> Control Panel \u2013> Printers, and then double-click “Prevent deletion of printers<\/strong>” from the right pane.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  3. Select Enabled<\/strong> and click OK<\/strong>.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  4. If a user tries to delete any printers from your computer, a message will appear saying “This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator<\/em>“.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Method 2: Use Registry Editor to Prevent Users from Removing Printers<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you have the standard or home edition of Windows, you can modify the registry instead to prevent the deletion of existing printers on your computer.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Press the Windows key + R to launch the Run dialog box, type in regedit<\/strong> and press Enter. This will open the Registry Editor.\n

      \"\"\n<\/li>\n

    2. Go to the following registry location:
      \nHKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\Explorer<\/code><\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      \tDouble-click the DWORD entry “NoDeletePrinter<\/strong>” from the right panel, change the Value Data field to 1, then click OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n

    3. Now close the Registry Editor and reboot your computer. If you don’t want to prevent users from deleting printers any longer, just change the NoDeletePrinter<\/strong> value to 0 and you’re done!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
