Simple vulnerabilities and fix's yeah but decent vulnerabilities and exploits for popular products are sold via places like VUPEN (who then sell them on to governments and other 'legal' hacking outfits) rather than publicly disclosed, meaning everyone stays vulnerable as they don't even know to fix it.
While making Doom run on a printer sounds like a fun project, his disclosure would have had more impact if it had just said on the screen "I hacked this printer" and a picture of a skull and crossbones or something else sinister
