  • Your router probably has a firewall you can set to just block all internet access to your printer’s IP. You’d have to make sure you let it access the home network if you want to send files remotely to it.

    Alternatively, routers nowadays have a guest network. You may be able to disable internet access to the guest network and connect the printer to it. You would have to temporarily connect your host device to the guest network to send your files to print, which can be annoying.

    You can blame whoever you want, but frankly, most people just don’t care to learn anything unless they’re already interested in it. There are tons of people who take their car to a mechanic for the most mundane shit. They’ll call in the Geek Squad when they have a PC problem. They have no interest in learning how their stuff works because there’s always someone else they can pay to handle that.
