As a suggestion, you might want to examine the control of Internet Printing
services at the printer level, in addition to the filtering of IPP at the
network level.

from iana.org
ipp             631/tcp    IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
ipp             631/udp    IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)


Best regards,

Subject: [SECURITY] Pictures of Osama Bin Laden on Network Printers


In the past few hours we have had quite a few networked printers
spitting out pictures of Osama Bin Laden.  Is anyone else experiencing
this?  We are tracking the problem down but if someone has some
information to share, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Krizi
