The last thing you mentioned is something that HP did Implement some years ago into their (at least one of their) printers.

Wow. I figured no one would ever do that.

Course, then you're stuck with the rest of the problems HP engineered into their printer.

That printer is in fact quite solid. No bullshit like forcing you to buy their ink, no batshit proprietary shit, doesn't break that often etc. Only problem it has is, that when you try to scan something it sometimes happens that quite a lot of colourful stripes appear on the document.
