    this link from phenoelit might give you an idea/possibility:
    
    (printer exploitation/hacking)
    
    http://www.phenoelit.de/stuff/19C3.pdf
    
    
    
    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?
