    Select Remove device for 1/5 networked printers on only 1 computer?


    Is it safe to select Remove device for 1/5 networked printers on only one computer?

    Where I volunteer I help maintain a computer for volunteers & visitors.
    There are 5 networked printers.
    The office wants only 1 of the printers in use from this computer.
    --- The one at the left as the default printer: HP LaserJet Pro MFP M426f-M427f PCL 6

    Is it safe to select Remove device in Control Panels Devices and Printers so that the main office still has normal use of the remaining 4 networked printers?
    --- I want to make sure the other 4 printers are not affected if I select Remove device on only this computer for volunteers & visitors.

    Usually doing so has worked for me, the other computers Wired or Wi-Fi continued working with the remaining printers. I have an HP LaserJet and HP OfficeJet connected by Ethernet cable to the Router and install the software on various computers as needed. Now and then I will install a different printer to diagnose function problems and that's what I remove.
