Printers are affected by vulnerability scan

Outonalimb · 2023-06-05T08:15:04+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

We have a couple of printers that are affected by the WithSecure vulnerability scan in that they print out 50 sheets of 'code' and other random text items whilst being scanned.

Is there a feature on the printer we can turn off so this doesn't happen? We have 50 printers throughout the business and only a couple are affected.

For reference, the printer is a Kyocera TaskAlfa 3051.

Thank you.

Hi @Outonalimb

Thank you for reaching out WithSecure Community page,

System Scan may cause your printer to print strange things if the LPD port (tcp/515) is open. You can exclude that port during scanning or disable the LPD service if necessary.

Please feel free to reach us if the issue still remains.

Thanks

Sethu
