Thanks, good idea. I went to my home router (a Fritzbox) and just blocked the printer from accessing the internet (it's under Internet -> Filter, and the printer is named BRW90....). Fairly straightforward - that should be a good enough fix, no?

It's probably enough a truly malicous printer could change the MAC address and device name to get around any such blacklist. Even a MAC-based whitelist is vulnerable to spoofing. To be truly safe you'd need to put the printer on its own lan without an internet connection or not connect it via ethernet/wifi at all.
