Have your gateway/firewall block all traffic from the LAN IP of the device from exiting the LAN.

If it's running on Win/Mac/Linux/Android/iOS, block the app from talking to the gateway, or even the entire LAN.

That's what I do with my printer. I love the company (Brother) and they make IMO the best printers and MFPs but I am quite paranoid already and I just block any WAN traffic. The printer is (and should be) really only used from the LAN anyway.
