Hi Stephen, Here is how to stop your Mac from broadcasting to UDP port 8612 every few seconds without using a Terminal WIndow: Under Utilities (In Application Folder) launch the Activity Monitor, then show "All Processes" and find the one named "CIJScannerRegister.app" and hit the Stop Sign (Quit Process). Then go to Machintosh HD > Library > Image Capture > Support > LegacyDeviceDiscoveryHelpers ->then drag "CIJScannerRegister.app" in the trash and empty it.
