Irongeek has some nice things you can do with a printer, use it as an ftp to store data, browse stored print jobs, 
change printer displays and the list goes on.

But apart from that maybe there is a way to run or launch apps from the printer just someone find out more info do tell.

Subject: Dumping Data From Printers


I wonder if there is a tool that can enable a person to dump the print jobs , or data sent to Network Printers?


Another question 


what would be the greatest risk if network admin leave Network printers without password protected.


i can telnet to the printer, gain access to the configuration file, which can enable me to stop the printer function, 
changing network configuration. 

But istill see the greatest risk is getting the printed data. any one can advice on this ??
