this link from phenoelit might give you an idea/possibility:

(printer exploitation/hacking)

All,

One of my class Cs got SNMP scanned, and wanted to ask you what the purpose of this scan you think it might be:

80.200.243.104.1152 > mynet.161: GetRequest(25) .1.3.6.1.4.1.641[|snmp]

(Apparently an ADSL user at Belgium -
104.243-200-80.adsl-fix.skynet.be)

They tried different OIDs: .1.3.6.1.4.1.641 (Lexmark International), .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2 (Hewlett Packard), .1.3.6.1.4.1.480 (QMS, Inc.), .1.3.6.1.2.1.43 (3Com).

All scans had src port 1152.

What I see in common here is printers. If so, what is the purpose of massively scanning for printers?

Other people seeing this? Any ideas? Any known tool?
