Penetration Testing: RE: Dumping Data From Printers

The capture of confidential data sent to the printer or, in the case of a
check printer, the printing (and possible mailing!) of a forged check.  Even
if the check is never mailed, there is a cost associated with cancelling and
balancing erroneous checks.  The ability to force a company to incur that
cost at will is a significant risk, even if it sounds a little dumb in your
report.

If you haven't already found it, Phenoelit has a tool called hijetter that
you may find useful, or at least entertaining.
