I have two new wireless HP printers, OJ7740 and LJ148. Since installed Orbi (security activated), I get 3 pages printed per unit every day. Total waste of paper. Any fix?

I had the problem for months with my HP Color Laserjet. It resolved after a printer firmware upgrade and also I am running my RBK53 set on latest 2.5.1.16... Printer is still on wifi and still running armor.
While Netgear searches for a way to make the Armor security scan not trigger unwanted prints from networked printers, those of you with HP printers may be able to disable Web Services to stop the prints (I do not use Armor and have not verified this solution):
- Instructions are here: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c04808536
- HP community thread that refers to this technique: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Inkjet-Printing/Unrequested-prints-almost-every-night/m-p/7311612#M830643
The HP Web Services feature allows you to email yourself or use Google Cloud Printing on your HP printer. If you don't use these features then you can safely turn it off and see if this resolves your unwanted prints.
Sorry, I didn't get the first link right...
