I would not be too worried about printers. I would patch them and
all but it would probably not be priority number 1. But chances are
if you have a wep printer you might also have a wep router and that
sadly can be cracked with no effort in a few minutes tops.
If one system gets compromised it would be logical for the hacker to
then scan the available services, and a printer hack is a perfect way to
keep a door open. Most places would never even think their printer could
be hacked. I am sure many automated bot type systems immediately scan
for all known printers/routers/embedded devices once it gets inside.
