There was nothing with my printer, but suddenly it's going to print things by itself!

It isn't printing at fixed times, but sometimes once in a week, and sometimes three times a week. Everytime that it is printing, it prints 2 or 3 pages.

 

This is what it is printing:

1

GET / HTTP/1.1

TE:   deflate, gzip ; q=0.3

Connection:   TE,   close

Host:   XXX.XXX.XXX.XX:9100 (A bunch of numbers)

User-Agent:   libwww-perl/6.15

2

GET / HTTP/ 1.1

Host:   XXX.XXX.XXX.XX:9100 (A bunch of numbers)

Connection:   keep-alive

Upgrade-Insecure-Requests:   1

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0   (Windows   NT  10.0;   Win64;   x64)   AppleWebKit/537.36   (KHTM

Accept:   text/html , application/xhtml+xml , appliocation/ xml ; q=0,9 , image/webp , */*;q

Accept - Encoding:   gzip,   deflate,   sdch

Problem solved, there was an open port,  so that everybody on the world could print on it (sounds weird).

It sounds like a virus to me. Get your system checked out with AV software.

I am having the same problem but with HP LaserJet 3052 All-in-One Printer.

 

The printer is connected directly to our local network, and all computers on the network print directly to the all-in-one.
