I can verify an issue with HP JetDirect as well. We have two HP LaserJet 4000N printers that started doing the exact same thing yesterday, the printer itself crashes, dumping a page of exception data from the card and freezing with an "EIO 2 ERROR" message. I see no information (yet) on the HP web site regarding any connection to the Code Red Worm. Anybody heard anything different?

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.
