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.
- It looks like you would have to remove them from the network.
Have HP576. HP577 and HP4345 with 3 ORBI's. Not practical to take off network due to locations. Just wastes about 3 pages of printouts on each whenever Negear Amor does a scan.
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:

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!
