Windows 9x was never secure, and I believe that screenshot was taken from Windows 98 or 98SE (hard to tell which). Arguably this is a bug in HP's printer driver. But the fact Microsoft exposed printing to begin with was misguided. I will say, even then, Microsoft intended for businesses and schools to utilise Windows NT 4.0 for this type of scenario. Unfortunately for them 9x become too popular for its own good, so people were buying machines with it and then having it log into AD (which was never really secure scenario, NT is designed for this, 9x wasn't).
