RE: HP printers and currency anti-copying measu res

[allan.vanleeuwen () orangemail nl]

Yeah yeah yeah yada yada yada ...
Well this BOZO here managed to scan and print both the older dutch money and
the new euro using an HP scanner, HP 4500 printer and drivers from 2003.
I also used photoshop 7 on it to rotate the picture about 1 degree... None
of these devices / software gave me any problems when doing this.
I was told there was also a protection in Xerox printers but havn't tried
that out yet ....

For the record, this was a test here at work, we have destroyed the (single
sided) print outs since.

In your "exhaustive" research, perhaps you skimmed over the fact that 
anti-counterfeit measures have been in some software, and even copiers 
for pretty much the last 15 years or so.

Their effectiveness has often been suspect, but it typically defeats the 
casual bozo.

Such as you. :)
