    Hide Print Server in My Network display


    Hello all

    I am rebuilding the OS side of my machine as I added some new SSD's drives and as such since my old system was very old and bloated I decided to start fresh with a new install and then bring over things as I needed.

    For all the things I had setup on my old one I somehow figured out a way to hide the icon in the Network menu for a small print server I use and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do that again.

    I have some vague memory of devoting a lot of time to it till I figured it out and since I am running duel boot ups so I still have the old system I can tell you with the exact same equipment on that one its hidden.

    Note, I don't want to effect anything of how it works or lose any of the other components in the menu, just that one thing.

    Is kinda like how many people will hide the Favorites or Network icon itself section from the menu, but what I want is to just hide this one thing inside the Network menu.

    So does anyone any ideas?

    Thanks for any help.

Hello all Recently I installed a new router that gives me DLNA capabilities with a HD. To do this it has a Media Server in it. Oddly once this is enabled in the router, the stand alone print server device I have had for a long time (that lets me print from anything on the network) that is...
I'm having sporadic issues with many users connected over the network to a print server. If the printer is their default printer the application used to print will freeze/lockup until they log out / restart their machine.
