    There's a couple of ways that could happen. 

    1) Someone/people guessed your printer's email address and is spamming it. Log into your printer's online account and restrict or disable ePrint.2) Spammers are tricking one of your computers/devices to print their ads. Update your software, scan for viruses and stay away from dodgy web sites.
