Strange looking laser printer....

["Sean M. Duckett" <sean () cyberclone net>]

Ok guys,

I'm a little confused here....what's this "acmsoda" bit running @ port
6969 on my MagicColor 3300 Laser?  Telneting to the port give me a
connection, but all it seems to do is eat input until a ^D; then it says
"goodbye."

A minute later, I scan again, and that port isn't listed....now
connections are refused.

A quick google mentioned bittorrent using that port, but this is a
printer...Any ideas?
