There's only what prints back when no one is watching.

USBPRINT\CANONDEVICEF144 — not a standard Canon model number. Not a driver hash. Not a serial. usbprint canondevicef144

I ran lsusb on the isolated machine. The device showed up as "Canon Inc." but refused any known class ID. Vendor-specific protocol. F144. In hex, F1 is 241. 44 is 68. ASCII? No. Something else. Not a serial

I checked the print spooler. The job wasn't spooling. It was uploading. 144 bytes at a time. To an IP that resolved to a decommissioned satellite uplink in the Pacific.
