Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro M452
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My LaserJet Pro M452 shows up in the Win 10 'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media' icon.  See screenshot at-

I've never seen printers in there before.  Any ideas welcomed.

The Laserjet M452 models have a usb port in the rear for job storage, and the M452dw model also accepts standard USB flash drives for printing without a computer.  My guess is that the USB drive is showing up as removable media in Windows 10.  I do not have a Laserjet M452 model, but I have seen similar behavior on various HP inkjet models.
