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...

Any help
This has been driving me nuts since installing the Netgear Orbi RBR50 in March. I finally landed here, thanks to all for posting the messages.
Here is what is printing on my Brother HL-L6200DW laser printer every Saturday night:
Page 1:
HEAD / HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.110:9100
User-Agent: curl/7.59.0
Accept: *.*
Page 2:

Page 3:

Any help eliminating printing these test sheets would be appreciated.

I am not sure I can be of much help since I have been dealing with this issue for at least one month. The difference between my experience and yours is mine does not print every night and not every printer is affected. However, few days ago, I tried a new solution. I changed the IP address of one of the affected printers and since then, I have not had any "undesirable" 3-page printing. It's a wait and see situation. You may want to try the same solution and you may have a quicker answer if it worked since your printer prints daily. Good luck!

Hi all, as suggested to PhysicsWorld, you can remove the printers from the devices that is scanned by Armor by logging in to armor.netgear.com and clicking on the router > click on "See all devices on this router" > look for the device/s (printer) that you want to remove > click on the ellipsis (three dots) on the far right > click on Remove.
