The mod, which took months to create, was made to demonstrate certain security issues. You can read about these in detail here (according to them, Canon responded they're planning to fix these issues on future printers), but it's much more interesting to see what Doom looks like on a printer display:

It's blocky. But you can still recognize the walls, the pistol and the monsters.
