Network Printers Printing During Security Scan
I have Orbi RBR40 with 2 Satellites, I have and Epson Workforce WF-2650, Epson XP-7100, Epson XP-6000, and Brother HL-L2360DW printers all attached wirelessly to network, all the printers have updated FW along with the Orbi, During the last two Armor Security scans all 4 printers printed the following:
HEAD / HTTP/1.1
Host: <printer IP>:9100
User-Agent: curl/7.59.0
Accept: */*
OPTIONS * RTSP/1.0
CSeq: 1
User-Agent: curl/7.59.0
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: <printer IP>:9100
User-Agent: curl/7.59.0
Accept: */*
other than disabling the security, is there a fix to stop the printing on all the printers?
Thanks,
Don Harries

Re: Network Printers Printing During Security Scan
I am having the same issue as many on your forums. Every time their is a scan, I am printing 3 pages of curl commands. This is wasting paper and ink not to mention money due to my ink subscription. Help is appreciated along with a permanent fix like preventing Armor from scanning select devices. Thanks.

Re: Network Printers Printing During Security Scan
Since many customers (including me) are having this issue, maybe it would be more productive to just post the solution instead of privately messaging people; unless of course the solution involves comprimising the security of our networks, in which case it looks like a firmware update is in order.

Re: Network Printers Printing During Security Scan
NETGEAR is aware of this issue and the good news is that we have a fix under test. We are working on releasing the fix for Orbi and other Nighthawk routers soon.

Re: Network Printers Printing During Security Scan
I'm having the same problem and it is frustrating to know that there is a secret fix available only if you are contacted outside of this forum. Please post the fix asap so we can all resolve this bug. I don't want to waste any more paper in my printers nor exceed my inkjuet ink monthly quota.

Re: Network Printers Printing During Security Scan
The fix isn't so secret—it's an invitation to beta test new firmware for the router. Personally I find the occasional random page printed less annoying than the potential of introducing other problems on my network with beta firmware, so I opted to just wait for the official fix.

Re: Network Printers Printing During Security Scan
I am having an issue regarding the Netgear armor security software. Each time it runs a vulnerability scan my printer spits out a few pages saying the following:
HEAD / HTTP 1.1
Host: x.x.x.x:9100
User-Agent : curl/7.59.0
Accept: */*
and other pages similar to the above.
How do i stop this please?

Re: Network Printers Printing During Security Scan
When will this fix be released?
I've been having these 3 pages printed ever since I received my Orbi, and am very eager to stop having my printer print on its own.
Thanks

Re: Network Printers Printing During Security Scan
I found the solution -- turn Armor off! And if this isn't fixed before my 1-year free subscription, I( won't renew. Like everyone I'm waiting for a solution from Netgear that works.

I would suggest following these directions to manually update to 2.5.1.8. It worked for me:

Re: Network Printers Printing During Security Scan
@Bomber1712 Kudos. I updated my firmware and it seems to have resolved my random printing issues. Can anyone tell me why Netgear charges to assist one in updating their firmware which, is a reocurring issue?

Re: Network Printers Printing During Security Scan
This is slowly driving me and my family mad. Every time we go to use the printer, it is jammed with a few HTTP requests from the security scan. Any news on the firmware testing or an invitation to test a beta? Thanks, W

Re: Network Printers Printing During Security Scan
Hi Christian,
I installed the hot fix shortly after your reply and have not had a incident yet so looking promising.
Thanks,

Re: Network Printers Printing During Security Scan
Hi Christian,
It seems I spoke too soon. While it certainly has decreased in frequency, my printer has just printed the offending HTTP requests after which point the app notified me it had completed a vulnerability scan, so the hotfix has improved but not fixed it. I can't even open the Orbi app on my iPhone 11 at the moment (it crashes after the FaceId - a separate issue I will shortly scour the forums for) so feeling quite underwhelmed.
Cheers,
W
