There is no security threat, it's an excuse. I own a printer and operate it in LAN mode. It requires authentication with 8 digit code.

If you think they care about security, let me remind you that this company used to connect to their cloud in plaintext. The only security they really care about is that of their revenue.

If they actually cared about security, they would let us disconnect these printers from the cloud completely and allow us to manage our own mTLS certificates.
