Disable Printer Sharing on macOS using Intune Policy

A guide to turn off the printer sharing on Mac devices using Microsoft Intune


In this post, I will show you how to disable printer sharing on macOS using Intune policy. Using a DisablePrinterSharing.zsh shell script, you can turn off the macOS printer sharing feature via Microsoft Intune.


When you enable printer sharing on a Mac, it is set up as a print server to accept print jobs from other computers. Apple recommends using a dedicated print server or direct IP printing instead of printer sharing.


An organization recently approached me about stopping Mac users from enabling and using the printer sharing feature. Thankfully, the Mac devices in the enterprise were enrolled in Intune. However, they couldn’t locate a setting to turn off printer sharing for Mac in the settings catalog.


When I did some research, I discovered that there is no option to disable printer sharing for Mac devices in the settings catalog. So, I had to either use a script or a custom template to get this done. Thankfully, Microsoft provides a DisablePrinterSharing.zsh shell script to disable printer sharing, which I used and it worked.

Prerequisites


Ensure that the following prerequisites are met when composing shell scripts and assigning them to macOS devices:


  • Devices should be running macOS 12.0 or later.
  • macOS devices must be enrolled and managed by Intune.
  • The Mac devices are connected directly to the Internet. Connection through a proxy is not supported.
  • Shell scripts begin with #! and must be in a valid location, such as #!/bin/sh or #!/usr/bin/env zsh.
  • Command-line interpreters for the applicable shells are installed.


For deploying shell scripts using Intune, refer to my guide on how to run shell scripts on macOS devices in Intune.


Download DisablePrinterSharing.zsh Shell Script


Microsoft provides a shell script called ‘DisablePrinterSharing.zsh‘ that disables printer sharing on Mac devices. Download the latest version of this script from the Intune GitHub repository.

  • Name: Turn off printer sharing on Mac
  • Description: Disable printing on a macOS that is managed by Intune
  • Click Next.


On the Script Settings tab, upload the shell script. Click on the Browse icon and select the DisablePrinterSharing.zsh script.


If you’re using a custom script, keep in mind that the macOS shell script file that you upload must be less than 200 KB in size. You can view the script that has been uploaded, but you cannot edit or modify the script at this time.
