Hacker: I made 160,000 printers spew out ASCII art around the world

A while ago I was searching for an error that an HP printer had thrown up. Rather than an explanation of the error, instead I got a listing of the publicly accessible web admin pages of a bunch of similar printers.

I did send an email pointing out the problem where ever I could find a contact, but never got any replies.
