The EU said companies are often unaware of the dangers posed by printers that are
connected to the Internet, which can serve as conduits to penetrate networks or a window to
stored documents.
The European Network and Information Security Agency also advised companies to take
physical security precautions for their printers and copiers to prevent unauthorized access to
documents or data cartridges.
"Business in Europe must realize that printing and copying is not as safe as when Gutenberg
started printing 540 years ago," said Andrea Pirotti, executive director of the agency. "Crucial
company assets and confidential data are at stake as even printers can get hijacked",he said.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Don't blame the fridge for your steep power bills -- an Australian consumer
agency study has found that videogame consoles and plasma flat-screen TVs are major
electricity guzzlers, even when left on stand-by.
The recent study by Choice said Sony Corp's Playstation 3, closely followed by Microsoft's
Xbox 360 and plasma television sets, consumed the most power out of a list of 16 electronic
devices tested, including laptops, stereo systems and DVD players.
"Our tests found that leaving a Playstation 3 on while not in use would cost almost... five
times more than it would take to run a refrigerator for the same yearly period," said the study
which was published on Choice's website www.choice.com.au.
"The plasma TV set was also a power hungry device, consuming over four times more power
than a traditional analogue set. The average desktop computer was third on the list."
The report advised consumers to switch off their electronic devices at the source, rather than
just from the remote control, which puts them on power-consuming stand-by mode. "This
saves on money, not to mention carbon emissions," it added.
