I need some help with this... My printer (hp inkjet) will randomly print 3 pages with just a header that includes the curl command (see photo) since this is a major waste of paper, how do I get this to stop?

I don’t have any server type apps installed so I don’t know what’s going on.

enter image description here

Is someone getting in to my printer or how would I know if my Mac is sending these to the printer?

Do you have a netgear router?

Look here and search for “printer”. It looks like it could be something to do with vulnerability scanning in your router.

Suggestions are:

  • turn off the vulnerability scan in the router
  • turn off the web services on the printer

  • After reading the NETGEAR site I’ll need to update firmware. I also needed to turn of the security scan since that’s what’s causing the problem. So far I haven’t updated the firmware since I don’t want to go offline for an unknown length of time (I’ll probably mess it up once or twice) now that we’re at home all the time.
