HP Recommended
Product: HP Color Laser MFP 179fwg

We recently purchased a MFP179fwg which works fine, but prints three pages of garbage every day at 1930 local time (see image below).

 

I have a regular nmap scan running at that time to check the networking devices in the house. This looks to me as the reason for the three pages.

 

But why does a nmap scan of the printer lead to this print job?

 

The nmap command is

nmap -oX $tfile -A 192.168.11.0/24 # check subnet and write to $tfile

Every hint is greatly appreciated.

 

Regards
