My memory is very fuzzy on this, but I seem to remember there being some
very interesting extensions to the PostScript language that could command
the printer to do fun things like "don't purge the print spool" and
"redirect the print spool to system 'x'" - A properly formatted PS
document could own your printer.
Networked printers are nearly ubiquitous in most companies today - fear
your printer!

All,
One of my class Cs got SNMP scanned, and wanted to ask
you what the purpose of this scan you think it might
be:
80.200.243.104.1152 > mynet.161: GetRequest(25)
.1.3.6.1.4.1.641[|snmp]
(Apparently an ADSL user at Belgium -
104.243-200-80.adsl-fix.skynet.be)
They tried different OIDs: .1.3.6.1.4.1.641 (Lexmark
International), .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2 (Hewlett Packard),
.1.3.6.1.4.1.480 (QMS, Inc.), .1.3.6.1.2.1.43 (3Com).
All scans had src port 1152.
What I see in common here is printers. If so, what is
the purpose of massively scanning for printers?
Other people seeing this? Any ideas? Any known tool?
Aaron
