HP LaserJet P3015 Printer Series - USB Walk Up Printing Feature

SECURITY CONCERNS
There is no increased security risk with the Walk Up USB functionality versus standard printing over
the network or USB connection or installing a hard drive.
• The Walk Up USB printing only allows documents in PDF, PRN, or PS file formats to be read,
viewed from the control panel, and printed from the USB mass storage device.
• The Walk Up USB mass storage device cannot interact with the printer’s network card or the
network.
• The USB mass storage device also cannot be used to store, retrieve data from the printer or the
network, or transfer data to the printer or the network.
Write permissions
Each time the printer is powered on, it will perform a boot-up sequence. During the boot-up
sequence, the printer detects all installed USB storage devices and configures them in a standard way
for HP and non-HP applications. Users who leave USB storage devices installed during this boot-up
sequence will notice that the printer stores folders and files on the device.
Users who do not want files written to the USB storage device must be careful to remove the USB
storage device from the printer during the boot-up sequence.
Disabling USB storage Devices
It is possible to disable “job retrieve” access to USB storage devices by configuring the printer using
an SNMP (PML) OID, Web Jet Admin or the Embedded Web Server. This only prevents users from
printing jobs from USB storage devices. It does not disable the USB ports or any networking
read/write access to the device.
Disabling using EWS:
To get to the EWS, open a browser and type in the printers IP address (192.168.0.0).
At the EWS go to the Settings tab and then click on Security o the left navigational bar
