Spam the printer

Due Credit: Techrepublic

Who could have imagined that there could be a way to spam the printer.Well,Aaron Weaver has just managed to do that.

By using a little-known capability found in most Web browsers, Weaver can make a Web page launch a print job on just about any printer on a victim's network.

Besides printing annoying messages, the malicious Web site is seen as capable of discharging potentially more dangerous commands.
