An interesting article concerning ways your printed pages can be traced to you plus a link about Lexmark printers installing spyware.

A reader recently asked me this intriguing question about laser
printers and personal privacy: "I've heard that some printers embed
a secret coded dot pattern on each printed page, and that if you
decode the dots, you can determine the owner of the printer and the
exact time the page was printed. That sounds like a privacy
violation -- is it true?"

This one has all the markings of a silly urban legend, but in fact
it's true.  Find out what the U.S. government has to do with this,
and learn how to decode the little yellow dots here:
