Howdy all,

I had an old printer of mine and as it does, it ran out of ink. Then it sat in one place for the better part of a decade. I certainly not shelling out more money on it. So, I wanted to see if there was a way that I could hack it. I settled on attempting to expose information with IPP, and there was a lot more you can do with it then I thought. It was a fun project and I wrote a blog post on it and a tool for automation. One day I'll attempt to actually pull the firmware off the thing and find a vulnerability that way, but I got a lot more to learn before I can actually do that.

Anyway I'm looking for feedback (good or bad) on my blog post. So if any of you have the time then it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
