Would all of the printers happen to be running a built-in web server?

Yesterday, one of the printers here in ITS began printing a Jetdirect
Diagnostic Page showing a S/W Exception 00fb and a core dump
("Registers", "Stack", and "Register Pointer Memory Dump" in Hex). I
changed the slot, and the error followed (from EIO1 to EIO2),
therefore I guessed that the card was bad. Today another printer
began to share the same symptoms. I have a hard time believing that
two cards would go bad at the same time

Has anyone else noted this phenomenon??

Could it be a different type of printer attack than the port 515 attacks??
