You might be able to hack a PS printer by sending an incomplete print job
that would trap and send back the PS to an IP address; then you submit a
partial print job, capture the next print job and send to the hostile IP.
Unlikely though.

It is possible (though unlikely for an external hacker) to use PS to change
the LCD display on printers.  At least HP 5SIs, I've never tried on any
others.  Brother, was the IT director p.o.'d at *that* one . . .
