I tried to find an icon in the specs that matches the original most, if any. As for the printer and video-display, it seems to be common practice to use device icons for device configuration tools - mouse, keyboard, printer - to name a few. I don't see anything wrong with that. There's not much point IMHO, about differentiating between device and device configuration tool icons, because the usage is obvious from the context the icon is used in - and having two names for one icon is IMHO overkill.
