General: Printing over HTTP must be turned off

21735bdc-fd91-44a8-beca-9a48b6c5e166

Some features may communicate with the vendor, sending system information or downloading data or components for the feature. Turning off this capability will prevent potentially sensitive information from being sent outside the enterprise and will prevent uncontrolled updates to the system. This setting prevents the client computer from printing over HTTP, which allows the computer to print to printers on the intranet as well as the Internet.

Remediation

To fix this configure the policy value for
Computer Configuration
|_ Administrative Templates
|_ System
|_ Internet Communication Management
|_ Internet Communication settings
|_ "Turn off printing over HTTP" to "Enabled".
