Prevent WiFi user from using printer

I have a C6300 Netgear modem.

I granted access to one of my neighbors to use my WiFi when theirs goes down.  But sometimes they send documents to my WiFi printer.

Is there a way to prevent them from using my printer while still allowing them to access my WiFi when theirs is down?

Thanks,

Vic

    Provide them access to the Guest WiFi network, rather than the primary network?

    You can also make them uninstall your printer from their network.
