HP Printer Hack
Certain versions of HP JetDirect enabled printers provide a function (PJL command) that changes the LCD display on a printer over TCP/IP. Arbitrary strings can be sent to the LCD display by a remote user using this command. This represents more of a nuisance than a threat, although it is conceivable that the ability to modify the display could be used in some sort of 'social engineering' scheme.
Mitigation:
Disable the PJL command on the printer or restrict access to the printer from untrusted networks.
