excluding single plugins / NVT won't work here as every NVT sending some
data to the PJL / Raw printing ports will cause your printer to print
out the data sent to it.

To avoid this have a look at the settings of the following NVT:

Do not print on AppSocket and socketAPI printers (OID:
1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.12241)

which excludes some common known ports if a printer was detected.

Depending on your printer you might need to add / update the ports to
exclude in that NVT.

It could be also possible that this NVT is not detecting your printer at
all. Then we could update it to detect it, for this every info like:

- Printer type
- HTTP banner
- HTML code of the start page

etc. could help.

Yes, there is an archive available here:
