Since purchasing R7000P with Armor (prior R7000 did not have Armor) all my printers print out a single nonsensical 3 or 4 line heading on four separate pieces of paper about once per week.
HEAD / HPPT/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.5:9100
User-Agent: curl/7.59.0

Is an example of one of the print-outs. With 4 printers this is a signficant waste of paper. Please find a way to eliminate this paper waste.

I had same issues and this was my fix
The page you are seeing is being generated by Netgear Armor weekly scans.
The Netgear Armor / Bit Defender team will need to update their scanner. It appears currently they are sending scan commands to your printer to try to "hack it", but some of those commands are being sent over ports that are interpreted as "print" commands.
If your printer allows you to block IP addresses from printing, you could likely block any printing from 192.168.1.1. IF it doesn’t, then either it will need to be Off when the Armor scan occurs, or there will need to be an update to the Armor Scanner.
I know Netgear often updates the Bitdefender Armor scanner in newer firmware...so make sure you are on the latest firmware for your router, as it may contain this fix. If not, I'd open a case w/ Netgear and even Bit Defender, they'll need to have their teams provide an update.
Hope it helps
