As far as I know, you cannot restrict connections using the printer
panel (if that is what you mean with "menus"). If you configure the
printer with the bootp/tftp method then you can put "allow" entries
in the tftp configuration file, like this:
allow: <ip>
allow: <ip> <subnet mask>
Then after rebooting the printer will accept connections _only_ from
the listed ips and subnets. So if your print server has the ip
address 1.2.3.4 then put in:
allow: 1.2.3.4
Be aware that this restricts not just printing but any network
connections to the printer, including telnet configuration sessions
and firmware updates.
You can configure the allow lists online by telnet'ing to the
printer.
