Xerox Printer/TCP/IP port WTF
-
How cute... You can print testpages from anywhere in the world. You can even CANCEL running print jobs..

I can't see this being abused...
-
Well of course you can drain their total ink and paper supply...
And i saw an option for uploading a file to print.. (I haven't tried that though)
-
There are a few models of HP printer that will accept an FTP upload of a file to print. I've always been tempted to upload /dev/random to one of those.
-
Haha, I'd never seen a Xerox web management page before. I love the output tray level: "Not Full"

It should better say "Not yet full", cause I have the slight feeling that it soon will be.
-
"Tray 2 Paper Is Low"
Now how did that happen...
-
Wow, it was full when I looked at it 10 minutes ago...
SOMEONE must have told it to print the manual.
-
I tried but it looks like you have to enter a password to actually cancel any jobs.
-
Woo! Click "Printer Neighborhood" and you can browse and control printers from all over campus!
hahaha, wow

No. I've been keeping track of the page count. Only 18 pages had been sent between the start and now. But someone has caused a "Media Mismatch" error.
Also, there are a lot of these things out there. ;-)
-
The error was cleared.. then it went back to tray 2 being low.. then it said tray 2 was missing. So someone was at it a moment ago. For anyone who's interested, here's the count progression:
304173 304177 304181 304183 304184 304191 304199 304206
It's also showing "Media Mismatch" again. One of you foreigners trying to print a funky size to it? It probably has 8.5"x11" paper! Stop jamming it!
-
Media Mismatch... hmmm someone tried to jam A3 paper in an A4 tray :) (yes, i am NOT from the US, before you complain...)
-
I think it's time for the masked printer vigilante to go through a proxy and start printing off the entire manual from all of these printer control pages that google turns up...

Haha, nice find.
EDIT: Oh, and apparently it accepts FTP, but it's password protected.

Hmmm a printer on the stairway... that's dangerous...

But i think i know the password.. (Look at 'Security')

Ain't gonna go look, but my guess would be "PC LOAD LETTER"

Damn. Anyone notice the button at the top with the "Home" logo?
-
Yet again does the visitors of this site cause more mayhem than most of the people who concider themself hackers.
-
So many visitors have been playing with the printer that it has been busy for the last hour, and it had a huge list of jobs. It appears that some other sites have picked this story up.

Webcams can be fun. A couple of years ago I found a webcam pointed at a construction site in Germany. You could even move the camera left/right and zoom in/out.

Don't know what it is, but it looks cool

That's an ... interesting ... way of arranging monitors and computers. Either a TV set or something scrounged together using anything (well, everything, in this case) that was available. If the IP address doesn't lie it's the latter, specifically academia (The jefferson lab national accelerator facility at the university of virginia.)
-
If you want more printer fun, here's something for Samsung printers. You can probably print to most of these through IPP on port 631.

Our printers at school allowed that, which was much better then paying 10c per page. Only you needed to print to file, and then upload that file. Uploading a doc file directly would cause a whole load of crap to come out.
Oh, and they later disabled the FTP server, which was followed by a firmware reset from our side. You cannot stop students :)

I wonder if one can change messages on their LCDs remotely.

If ports 9100 or 515 are accessible, then you probably can.

Tends to happen, unless the printer's owner shelled out for a copy of "Word for Printers".
I used to bypass the per-page charges on the Uni's student printers by deliberately adding a few syntax errors to the postscript output. The print server'd only charge if the job was reported as successful, so adding "screw you, bean counters!" to the end of the .ps file would trigger an error, but still let your stuff print out normally.
good times, good times...
-
The Samsung ones even have a remote firmware upgrade (look under the Maintenance tab).
-
The best (or worst) part: you can actually upload stuff to the printer and it's not password-protected - it accepts plain text or PostScript.
-
How long until someone uploads an ASCII-art goatse?

Why not a PostScript version of the actual image?
-
Before my school redid its network layout, they apparently had one printer which was hacked into and used as an FTP server for warez. It still printed perfectly fine, mind you....

Lucky you, the system we had was so broken. You had to pay your job before it would print, then you could see how many pages it where (after you payed, so you never knew how much you where going to pay) and worst of all, somehow the jobs sometimes got mangled between the your computer and the pay computer. Then you suddenly found yourself paying for 50 pages while you only ordered to print one.good times, good times...
In the end, our printer hacking actually saved paper, it caused a lot less faulty jobs.
