The event triggers when an external source tries to connect to a print server residing within the protected network. This event is helpful in identifying potential threats that may compromise the confidentiality or integrity of the network. **What to Look For** When analyzing the results of this event, it is important to look for any attempts by external sources to connect to internal print servers. This could indicate an attempted intrusion or a compromised endpoint on the network. It is also important to examine the print server logs for any unusual activity, such as unexpected print jobs or unauthorized access. Remediation should include isolating compromised endpoints, blocking unauthorized access attempts, and implementing stronger security measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. **Related MITRE ATT\&CK Categories** [Initial Access, Persistence: External Remote Services, Technique T1133 - Enterprise](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1133) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.fusion.vectra.ai/detection-models/library/misconfiguration/external_printing_connections.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
