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.
So perhaps this update finally fixed the issue.
Finally. Thanks.
Hi tolidano, as a temporary fix, you can remove the printers from being scanned by Armor. You can do that by logging in to armor.netgear.com and clicking on the router > click on "See all devices on this router" > look for the device/s (printer) that you want to remove > click on the ellipsis (three dots) on the far right > click on Remove.

Hello,
this is waisting my printer ink & paper!
any updates on netgear fixing this?!
- I haven’t seen any update and won’t be subscribing to this Armor service after the 30 day free trial ends on 3rd January. I haven’t found it that useful and the unwanted printing issue is annoying.
- I also think it is responsible for flickering (and ultimately bricking) one of my LIFX Color 1000 bulbs. And any other WiFi connected lights.
I have a couple of LIFX bulbs too and thankfully haven't had that issue! Trial expired so will now remain deactivated. Might give it a go another day if they sort the printing.
