always heard printers were the most insecure tech to have, but that was decades ago, we got all sorts of devices nowadays that could be worse

You’d be insecure too if everyone loudly hated you with a burning passion

Honestly they’re still pretty vulnerable. Maybe firmware is a bit better, but it’s a configuration thing that often gets overlooked in corporate networks. The amount of open SMTP relays I’ve run across in printers is a bit ridiculous, but it’s always fun to start phishing people with internal emails.

Not really a concern for home use if it’s not networked. If it is networked, make sure you at least have it behind your firewall, disable any remote access/remote printing features, and ideally update the firmware as well.
