Dear all, quite a crazy issue today. I have an m15w which I use only in my wifi for printing from my iOS devices. Today - one of my neighbors was able to print something, I think accidentally, on this printer - it was his shift plan with his name on it. The printer is totally on standard config - I only connected it to my wifi. Does this mean he must have compromised my wifi network or is there any other possibility to print wireless to my printer?

The printer can't work both on wi-fi and wi-fi direct at the same time, but if you are not using it check is it disabled just to make sure.

Increase your wireless password to a higher level and turn off wi-fi direct on your printer if you are not using it.
