How To Stop Netgear Armor Vulnerability Scan on a device
The Netgear Armor scan is wasting paper on my printer. Apparently it does it's weekly scan, and the printer thinks a print job is starting. I want to disable the internal scan at least for that dev...

Was there any fix to this? I have the same problem with my Orbi and HP7855 printer.

No fix so far; they upgraded the firmware on the ORBI router to a beta version in the hope of resolving the problem without much success. I have 4 printers in my house, 2 Brother laser printers and 2 HP Officejets. Before the firmware update, I had the issue with one each of the printers. After the update, the second Brother started acting up as well. I sent my logs to their engineering Department and they are still working on the problem. The last suggestion I received from them is ro remove the concerned printers from the Netgear Armor scan. If anyone knows the procedure on how to remove a device from the scan without removing it from the internet, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
