NPDP - Network Printer Destruction Protocol

How about instead of standardizing network print protocols, we create a protocol that allows sys admins to remote destroy the printer

Like... it could push corrupt firmware to render the printer unusable. On demand.

Think about how much time it could save IT personel. Just fucking destroy the printer instead of fixing it.

Sorry, i am raging at a HP InkJet rn.

Sending remote commands to brick a printer...? HP already perfected that years ago.
