That's a good idea, but thinking on: there two ends to the connection, the printer and the sending device. Fixing printers is unlikely to be high on vendors' lists of priorities, but a fix is available when the sending device uses Debian. Isn't it sufficient to fix one end of the connection to dispose of the vulnerability? -- Brian.
