Today I discovered that my HP printer's display can be accessed over Ethernet. I'm not sure what I can do with that, lol. Maybe it's just for displaying the printing profile? But it's crazy! The hardware support is awesome. I do have the open source HP driver installed https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-install-networked-hp-printer-and-scanner-on-ubuntu-linux/, and now I wonder if that's the reason. I can even update the HP printer firmware from Linux!

The only reason it discovered was that I was running a vulnerability scan and discovered the open vnc port.
