PrintFS

PrintFS is a proof of concept software, which allows one to interact with different type of printers. It implements the idea of having a covert, distributed filesystem within printers. In addition the source code contains some more printer fun.

  • pfsScanner, as multi threaded scanner for printers that suits printfs.
  • printJack, allows other printer fun like PJL password cracking, mass control of panels, RamDisks and LCDs etc.
  • pypjlpass, a support class for printJack taht implements PJL password bruteforcing
