We discovered that our HP Officejet 6700 was directly accessible from the internet after someone printed a pamphlet about 'Serpent People in New York' (quite hilarious actually).
Ofcourse, we'd like to prevent this from happening again. However, I quite like the 'printing from the internet'-feature (so that I can print stuff when away from home).
Is it possible to somehow add some protection to printing? E.g. a password that each computer should have, a SSL-certificate I have to install, ... ?
I have a few Windows machines and one linux machine that will print regularly to this machine from the local network, and one linux machine that will most often print via the internet.
His printer isnt in a DMZ, its web enabled. A VPN wouldnt do anything in this situation – Keltari – 2018-12-08T16:37:59.497
@Keltari – sorry I meant simple VPN without DMZ. Where you just log in from the PC and see all the devices. I meant keeping it simple. – miroxlav – 2018-12-08T17:13:06.493
That could indeed fix it, together with a decent firewall setup. Solid advice – Pieter – 2018-12-11T16:55:25.693
