Format of JetDirect SNMPv3 authentication, privacy keys?

I know this has probably come up before on this list, but I haven't been
able to find the answer in the archives (or anywhere else, obviously).

In the JetDirect web configuration pages for our HP LaserJet 9050 is a
page for configuring SNMP, including SNMPv3 authentication and privacy
keys.  I'm using SNMPv3 quite successfully with net-snmp, using
"net-snmp-config --create-snmpv3-user" to create users with given
authentication and privacy passwords.

However, the JetDirect configuration seems to want 16-byte values in
hexadecimal.  Does anyone know how I convert arbitrary passwords into
these 16-byte values?  I see a couple of such values in
/var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf after running net-snmp-config, in the "usmUser"
directive.  If these are them, does anyone know which is which?  I've
tried both for each key, with no success.
