What is the best way to secure my printer on my home network? What vulnerabilities should I disable? The printer works fine other than some issues with it not waking up when I try to print to it, so I have no desire to replace it.

Disable any protocols you do not use, meaning if you do not have a MAC, disable bonjour service. Ensure you have applied strong passwords to EWS and to the wireless. If you are not using wireless, disable it. You can refer to this document as well: https://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/ish_6525397-6525444-16
