RE: Ответ: Security of PCL and PostScript

I've been told a few times PCL and PostScript are fully functional 
stack-based languages. Had anyone successfully compromised 
a printer, 
by submitting a job that contains malicious PCl or 
PostScript? 

There were reports many years ago of a PostScript Trojan that repeatedly
changed the password on an Apple LaserWriter to a random number.
