Seems this may also be hitting somehow on/over SAMBA.

A colleague (Alien8) had this to say about his SGI Indy
with SAMBA running:

"I started seeing a printout (w/no actual print command)
of the file (not sure why) and realized it was coming
from my indy... there was all sorts of traffic so i ran
tcpdump, and then turned off samba alltogether and it
nearly disappeared (the traffic)"
