I cloned a template for dipsvm which I also install the printer software into. I do this cause its easier to print something from random webpage, and cause I open files mostly in dispvm all the time anyways, easier to use across diff vms. I believe most users do this. I don't use a dispvm for the scanner, I just use a separate scanner appvm. I turned my usb printer into a network printer with a raspberry pi. Yes the protocols are insecure, But I agree with Jean if you worried about your printer I don't knowhow much more security benefit you get because of that fact. Your lan probably matters more or the printer hardware itself. Besides isolating the printer drivers, the act of scanning and printing is really a privacy risk. Doesn't matter where you are connecting from. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
