We've definitely seen it on a frequent and irregular basis when we've
had printers that weren't protected. Investigation in netflow and
firewall logs show the data coming from all over the Internet.

In cases where the printer itself doesn't allow a service to be ACL'd
we've purchased cheap little ~$35 firewall devices to sit in front of
the printers and limit who can talk to them.
