I think a lot originally hinged on the assumption that either you would 
find a cooperative administrator, or you should not be tampering with a 
printer outside your administrative domain.

What's changed is that administrators are no longer cooperative and/or 
sufficiently competent, but that does not mean that administrative 
domains should have a big hole punched into them.

Do keep security in mind.
