RE: Dumping Data From Printers

["Shenk, Jerry A" <jshenk () decommunications com>]

Just a wild idea - how about telnetting to the printer and changing its
IP address to something else...probably on a different network...give it
a gateway of some machine that you control that is also on that network.
Then set up some other box with the original IP of the printer and
another IP on the "other network" that the printer is now on.  Now, it
would seem that you could "route" all traffic to the printer through
this "gateway" that you just set up.  That "gateway" could then keep a
copy of all the traffic that goes to the printer...the printer would
work just fine but you're getting a copy of all the printed data.

...just an idea.  I haven't tested it or even though of it before but it
seems rather evil!  Depending who prints data to this printer....

Subject: Dumping Data From Printers

I wonder if there is a tool that can enable a person to dump the print
jobs , or data sent to Network Printers?

Another question

what would be the greatest risk if network admin leave Network printers
without password protected.

i can telnet to the printer, gain access to the configuration file,
which can enable me to stop the printer function, changing network
configuration.
But istill see the greatest risk is getting the printed data. any one
can advice on this ??
