One risk would be that someone else would be able to use your printer. Just think if someone sent you offensive (or illegal) materials or spam through your printer. You would not like it, and it would waste your ink. It could be a type of denial of service attack to keep others from using it.
However, that is not the only risk. Many new printers are wi-fi enabled and also save previous work queues. So if you print a sensitive document and the printer retains a copy and uses wi-fi, then an attacker could download the document from the printer.
Additionally, if the printer is wi-fi compatible, a hacker could intercept the document from the airwaves as it is being sent to the printer.
Finally, don't rule out the more low-tech security risks. If you are in a busy office and you forget to retrieve your document from the printer, someone else may read it or take it with them.

Lexmark X7170 printer connected by usb to a win xp computer I want to share this printer on a network with a win 98 and a win ME when I try to add printer the icon for it disappears can you help?
In 2005, Lexmark advised me that "network sharing" an X7170 is only supported by their WinXP driver. Their Win98/WinME driver doesn't support this attachment method, and wiull not be enhanced. Try this workaround: -- USB connect the X7170 to your WinXP PC and install it there -- Then define it as a 'peer-to-peer' shared printer resource in that PC -- Now any other PC in that workgroup should be able to use it (through the WinXP PC) like any other shared resource Good luck...
How do you find an ip address for a dell 922 printer?
Typical printers do not have an IP address, unless it is shared on a network with either a print box, or throught a CAT5 cable directly into the printer. If your printer has CAT5 connection, the IP address will be in the setup menu of the printer. If you are using a print box, you'll have to refer to the manual of the print box, as there are many different types. If you are just sharing a USB or Parallel printer on a network, your printer does not have its own IP. It uses your PC's IP to connect to other PC's

How does a printer communicate with the PC?
Its a heavy duty to answer this question because it concerns many fields, however, this brief description for the logic of PC-Printer communications " Hopefully ". A printer is connected to the computer through the Parallel Port ( Eventhough some new technologies use the Serial Port, but I will discuss the Parallel one). Lets take a task of printing certain text that is assigned to a printer to print, first of all, the PC checks whether or not the printer is online using a signal from the printer it self tells the PC that she is online, secondly, the PC signals back the printer to let it know that a printing task is on the way so the printer will begin reading incoming Bits, if the printer is able to print then task is done, so it signals back the PC announcing printing completion, otherwise if the printer is out of paper or there is an error, it will give certain signals that indicate the printer's status. for expert IT people, the PC uses 8 lines that carry out 5 Volt each, the printer listens to the voltage in every line, if exists, then it is 1, if not, then its 0, and the PC listens to 5 lines carry out 5 Volt each from the printer to the PC, if 5 Volt exists then its 1 , otherwise its 0. So the PC uses 8 bits to transfer data to the printer and the printer uses 5 bits to provide the PC with its status. MasO: The Code Hunter
