I can confirm that this worm is killing JetDirect cards. The HP JetDirect Card in our HP LaserJet 4000N has been steadily crashing as infection attempts hit it; the result is that, every ten to thirty minutes or so, the printer itself crashes, dumping a page of exception data from the card and freezing with an "EIO 2 ERROR" message. A hard reset of the printer is required to make it operational again. -- Patrick Chipman System Administrator University of Memphis Cognitive Science Lab ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian.J.Mauter" <maute001at_private> Date: Thursday, July 19, 2001 11:10 pm Subject: Re: Two birds with one worm. > Hi, > > Testing various other devices on my subnet, I found that my 3Com > WirelessLAN Access Point was not affected, but my HP 4500 was > because it has an HP > Jet Direct Card in it.
