No, the supposition is that you have a windows virus somewhere.  A 
virus that tries to propagate itself by finding attachable SMB (or 
CIFS, these days) shares that it can write itself to.  Your linux 
machine is presumably running samba, and offering up a printer share, 
which the virus is stupidly copying itself to (thinking it's a file 
share).

Several viruses propagate via shares.  I'd snag a good anti-virus 
package and run it on your windows boxes.
