Hello,

on office-laptops, one should be able to do wifi and printers
In other words:
On office-laptops, one should be able to do "print job phishing", see
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Security_use_cases#Printer
I am not against it because if someone is allowed to connect his own
laptop to a network, he can eavesdrop on the network and he can also
fake any server machine in the network (except additional network
switch hardware limits the user's network access), see
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_and_SANE_Firewall_settings
Kind Regards
Johannes Meixner
