That's a good idea, but thinking on: there two ends to the connection,
the printer and the sending device. Fixing printers is unlikely to be
high on vendors' lists of priorities, but a fix is available when the
sending device uses Debian. Isn't it sufficient to fix one end of the
connection to dispose of the vulnerability?
