Nimda affecting HP LaserJet / JetDirect devices?

We are starting to get reports here from various users around our
site that our HP network printers are displaying strange messages
such as 'Good Morning', 'Nimda Live', and 'Kill Trees'. Has anyone
else noticed this behavior? Any information on what vulnerability
is being exploited here or whether this is the same Nimda agent as
that propagating across Windows platforms would be greatly
appreciated.
