Title

The Order Prints Online wizard must be turned off. (Cat III impact)

Discussion

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 uncontrolled updates to the system. This setting ensures the "Order Prints Online" task is not available in File Explorer.
