Vulnerability scan triggers HP printer to print pages
Hi all. It appears that the Armor vulnerability scan always causes my HP Laser printer to print three pages, containing a client version or similar. E.g. curl and version number or so. I'm quite s...
- Now I have been running 2.5.1.16 for quite some time and so far not a single page has been printed out.

Part of the vulnerability checks (not limitet to Armor) is sending some test data to the ports to be tested - if these are printer ports, this can lead to some garbage on the printer paper.
What would you expect as a solution?
- Well. Whatever the way would be, not to switch off the printer all the time and not getting garbage out of the printer.
Effectively I'd like to know if there are certain settings I could try to turn off from the printer without making printing too difficult, or disable Armor from doing those checks that are causing garbage getting printed.
Anyway, I don't think it's anyone's benefit printing several pages of garbage every week or making printing difficult.
