Very interesting results. That whole line of printers
seems to be pretty fragile. I've seen strange behaviour
due to version scanning them as well. See the second
section in this blog post:

Also, in my blog posts there are examples of crashing other
printers, access points, RAID controllers, firewalls (!),
and much more. Never underestimate the shoddy construction
of modern software!

Best,

Doug
