FLASH: F5: Print-action - security issue?

[Thorvald Neumann]

Hejsan!

 

How safe or unsafe is the print-function in Flash 5? I just had a talk

with our system admin and told him of the printing capability.


He assumed now it might be possible to start a

Denial-Of-Service-attack on network-printers from within a Flash

movie.


What do you think?


Best wishes,
