    UPDATE:
    
    It appears this vulnerability has been rectified in later versions
    of the printer controller software. As it stands, printers installed
    with the controller software above a certain version are NOT
    vulnerable, and it appears the latest Infoprint series printers are
    indeed not vulnerable. Thanks to Fredrik Björk
    <Fredrik.Bjork.Listat_private> and Onyx Thanes <weweat_private>
    for information relating to non-vulnerable versions:
    
    
    Confirmed vulnerable:
    
    IBM Infoprint 21 - Controller Code Level: 1.047012
    
    
    Confirmed NOT vulnerable:
    
    IBM Infoprint 21 - Controller Code Level: 1.056007
    Any newer Infoprint models
    
    
    As to when IBM started releasing the printers with the non-vulnerable
    software installed, well, you'd have to ask IBM for that.
