Itried to issue PCL commands to my printer, but they always get a timed out error.
So i decided to tinker a bit before spending a shitload of money into toners or new printers, i'm using this tool to try access and issuing commands to the printer, the connection gets succesfully enstablished. After that i can issue commands in three different languages: PS and PJL doesn't seem to do anything, with PCL at least i see a Device: Unknown printer but all the commands i issue seem to simply not be taken in consideration from the printer, in any of the 3 languages, giving a Command execution failed (timed out) error.

what can ya do with a hacked printer? (jetdirect? port 9100 vuln)
my friend that owns a coffee shop asked me to poke around on his network to look for vulnerabilities in exchange for some free coffees and i saw that they had 9100 open, wasn't familiar with it so played around and found out about PRET which gave me access to his HP printer, with transversal you can gain access to the file system etc and from what i read you can open a root shell on another port, would the scope be limited to the printer, or can the printer be used as a vector to gain access to other systems connecting to said printer?

Am I wearing a tin foil hat or is a public facing print server an issue?
Preferable you don't want it accessible from the internet at all. Using stuff like the Printer Exploitation Toolkit (PRET), people can get up to some nasty stuff on a public accessible (insecure) printer : https://github.com/RUB-NDS/PRET
