"The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a consumer privacy and digital rights organization, says there are codes embedded in printouts made by some color laser printers that can be used to track the origin of a printed document.
The codes are ostensibly a part of anti-counterfeiting measures developed by government agencies to curb the creation of fake currency but could have serious implications for consumer privacy, according to privacy advocates. Government sources and at least one manufacturer confirm they work together on occasions to help prevent counterfeiting."
