If it's a Windows network, Eric probably got it right. I have recently noticed that 
sometimes, on my Windows 2000 (AD) network, when I am about to print something (I 
think it's when I get the dialog box with the list of printers, print properties, etc) 
I get echo requests from the print servers (i.e., the computers that are sharing those 
printers).

It is possible that it also happens under other circumstances during normal network 
usage.
