HP Printers show as TOP usage clients between 3AM and 5AM with office closed ??

Doing some Dashboard checking and noticed two TOP clients are (older) HP printers. The building is closed so nobody onsite. And both printers were recently updated for their software/firmware via the front control panel.

Printout only comes from the two local PC owners printing their output between 8AM - 5PM..

Curious what traffic is flowing

Kind of a big deal

Here's some info about that port.

I'm going to guess that it's the second use case: WSD. But it seems to be destined for an IPv6 address. If you don't use IPv6 in your network, maybe you can just disable it on the printer.

Correct no use of IPV6 for this site and the printer is Wi-Fi enabled but used only locally by the one user.

Many thanks.. will add these changes to my list of site based touch points for the many changes I need to do..

 

Thank you.
