Vulnerability 12236, Printer has no password set.

This is a practice question rather than a how-to...


Has anyone in the group actually had a problem related to not having a
password set on a printer.

Nessus rates this as a high problem as well as high rated CVE but
wondering if this is really something that should be considered a high
risk.

Issues would be denial of service but could a redirect of sensitive
printer info be possible? Are there other concerns?

This has been quite a topic of discussion around our shop.
