My HP printer talking to the FBI?

This is going to sound strange, but does your printer call the FBI?

I was looking through my firewall logs and found this gem:

	Oct 17 03:43:33 btw /kernel: Oct 17 03:41:34 btw /kernel:
	ipfw: 7800 Unreach TCP 12.1.224.109:80 206.129.5.146:1115
	in via xl1

206.129.5.146 is my HP printer. 12.1.224.109 is:

	Name:    origin.ifccfbi.gov
	Address:  12.1.224.109
	Aliases:  109.224.1.12.in-addr.arpa

Looking through the config I don't see anything for 12.1.224.109.
