"I entered 192.168.0.0/24 as the Target. Nmap then scanned all the IP addresses from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254. After the scan completed, I selected the host with the IP address of 192.168.0.12 and selected the Ports/Hosts tab. Nmap discovered that this is a printer, the name and serial number of the printer, and that the printer is hosting an embedded web site running on port 80." From Gibson's book.

I can testify this in my job at a print shop. We use Ricoh MFD machines and they have buttons to access vendor information and vendor store for additional features for the MFD.

Pretty sure printers have embedded web servers. It is in Gibson's book as Stefanvangent said.

A network interface. If it doesn't have access to the network, then it can't be exploited (easily).

… As a simple example, a wireless multi-function printer typically includes an embedded system. It runs a web site that you can access wirelessly to configure the printer. … (Darril Gibson’s Get Certified Get Ahead p. 404)

Isn't the answer D ? Since you can play with the printer settings ? I mean all can be used but the question is most likely. The easiest is the LCD control panel, anyone who walks to the printer can do it.
