Hi,

We need to close port 4994 or disable Newsstand from NPrinting. We are applying these steps https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/How-To-Disable-or-Limit-Access-to-Qlik-NPrinting-Newsstand/ta-p/2032981 but at the end the port is open and used by NPrinting. Can i disable the usage of these port or any by NPrinting Newsstand. I need to use only 4993 to webconsole and no more.

As I know, We cannot entirely close Port 4994 on the Qlik NPrinting server if you want NPrinting to continue functioning, because it is the essential communication port for the NPrinting Web Engine.

This service is responsible for:

Rendering and generating reports.
Internal communication between NPrinting server components (Scheduler, Web Console, Engine).

However, you can disable user access to the NewsStand or block external traffic to the port for security.

Navigate to the NPrinting.
Go to Admin -->Settings -->NewsStand.
Check the box to Disable NewsStand.

hope it helps.
