HP Enterprise printers and scanners - Imaging and Printing Security Best Practices (white paper)

IPPS Printing Disabled
Disabling IPPS when IPP is not in
use is your only option. When
IPP is enabled, the IPPS Printing
setting enables the Internet
Printing Protocol over SSL. IPPS
provides a secure method for
sending print jobs to the device
over the Internet or intranet.
MDNS Config Disabled
Disabling MDNS Config prevents
access to configuration settings
and other features through
MDNS.
IPv4 Multicast Config Disabled
Disabling IPv4 Multicast Config
prevents access to
configuration settings and other
features through IPv4 Multicast.
WS-Discovery Disabled
Disabling WS-Discovery
prevents systems from using
WS-Discovery for discovering or
browsing printers on the
network.
HP XML Services Disabled
Disabling HP XML Services
prevents HP Web services from
accessing XML-based data on an
HP print server.
WARNING: You will want to enable WS-Discovery on this printer if the following apply: You are using an IPv6 only network, you use
WS-Print to discover your devices, or operate in a Windows Vista/ Windows 7 centric environment. If you are unsure of this setting,
we highly recommend testing its implications with a single device before applying it to your whole fleet.
Note:
If you are using third party solutions recommendations may be different. Please see the Advanced Security chapter. As a rule, you
should close down any MFP network features that are not in use.
Click Apply in the lower right-hand corner to view the Configure Devices dialogue box. (Figure 25). Review your selections carefully
before clicking on the Configure Devices button.
