network printers

Haven't looked at printers in a while.
Are there any best practices hardening and audit docs for printers?

Not sure what you mean by SA password, but HP printers run Java, which is
turing complete. If you have full access to the printer you can make it do
absolutely anything you want - it's just as good (or better) as owning a
workstation.

Check out some of the phenoelit stuff to scare yourself:

Reason for this...the idea is that if we take the current list of passwords create a pre-computed hash table the next time we audit we'd run LC5 and all but the passwords that changed and new accounts would get knocked out right away. ...
