This has not really anything to do with LPRng, sorry.  But I thought
perhaps others here could have come across the same thing...

Now and then, we find a sheet with garbage on it, that appears to 
have reached the printers outside the normal queuing mechanisms,
there are no log entries.

They are all similar, but I don't know if they are all equal.
I scanned one sample here:  http://folk.uio.no/hanspv/z3.png

Basically, I's just one line of extra-ascii characters 
printed on top, sprinkled with a few backspaces so they overlap.
They start with "z3", or rather z^H.3 or perhaps .^Hz3, ie. the
first character is a '.' superimposed on a 'z' or vice versa.

I assume these are the results of (hostile) scanning, worm activity
or exploit kits.  They are mostly just annoying, but I would like to
stop it all the same.

Has anybody additional info on this?  I tried google, but "z3" etc.
just yields a lot of links to BMW....
