network security vulnerability from wireless printers

[NCjohn]

I've been reading lately how some networked printers can present a serious breach of security, just as most IoT devices do. I'm trying to find out if there's some sort of network password or PIN within the printer firmware that can/should be changed from the default. Can anyone help me with this? I have two Canon printers, a Pro-100 and a MG6821.

I am also getting sam issues and i cant figure out whats causing that. But hope this gets resolved.

Regards,
Shane.

Hi NCjohn,

There is no network password or pin that you can change. If your computer and printer are connected to a router (wirelessly or with an Ethernet cable) you should have no problems with security.
