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...

Thanks everyone for the information. I disabled Armor over the weekend, so I’ll monitor over the next couple of weeks if I still get the unwanted printouts.

Same issue
My brother DCP-L2550DW keeps printing:
HEAD / HTTP/1.1
HOST: 10.0.0.27:9100
User-Agent: curl/7.59.0
Accept: */*
Please release a fix.

This is still happening - even after I removed the printer from the scan like someone suggested. I've probably wasted 60 pieces of paper at this point. I have the new firmware and I've worked with your case management team, Netgear. When are you going to solve this problem?
Help! My last case was 42028998.

Scott, you are not alone. I've done the same thing with the same results. I finally gave up and disarmed Netgear Armor ("circle house" in upper left corner, settings, security, uncheck Enabel NETGEAR Armor - done). I'm paid up until next July, but the extra problems aren't worth it. I love the Orbi system, the Armor add-on isn't what it should be.
Scan night for me is Saturday, I'll let you know if disabling Armor did the trick.
