I've just read the entire thread and the original "bug report" from the 
IT department - there's a lot of information that is missing.
Can they rule out either OpenVPN or the Konica Minolta thing?

- is it possible to have the application connect directly to the MySQL 
db (for testing/debugging)?
- is it possible to set up the connection to the MySQL db via SSH port 
forwarding?
- does it happen *only* with the KM driver?
- have they tested this for a Windows client user without privileges to 
add/remove printers (i.e. non Administrator, I'd guess)

OpenVPN nor printer drivers remove printer connections "by accident".

As for the strange subnet: I've seen many companies that abuse public IP 
space for their own internal networks. Provided that you get your 
routing+natting right, this does not necessarily have to ben an issue. 
I've seen nowhere that it's KM that uses this subnet, it's the client's 
*IT department* that uses it.
