we have tried to work around this in the last year and implemented a few additional mitigations which showed quite good results as long as the printer was detected. This is handled in the following NVT: http://plugins.openvas.org/nasl.php?oid=12241 by excluding common ports (namely 9100-9103 and 9112-9116 / tcp) by default which are known to print gibberish if touched. There might be still quite a lot printers out there which we don't detect. If you're still facing issues like this any additional information about your printer (HTTP, SNMP SysDesc, Telnet, FTP banners etc.) are welcome.
