No, that's incorrect. That prevents it from being shared to other networked
computers.
What needs to be done is to logon as administrator and access the security
settings. In a WinXP Home system you have to logon in Safe mode for this. In
WinXP Pro you must disable "simple file sharing" in folder options/view.
Once on the security tab, you need to remove print permissions for everyone,
then add just the accounts that you want to have this right.
