I have a buddy that scanned his cable subnet, found some open shares,
open machines, open everything, a few were even spewing crap on the
subnet (broadcast, spam zombie, etc.) and he was able to remotely print
to their printers to tell them how to fix it.  Or if they had some tasty
files, he waited a bit.  ;-)   So, far as I can tell, that's what remote
printing is for.
