I have worked for a couple years in a sister company of a copier distro and have actually had several discussions about this with the techs.. Yea, there is a hidden code embedded in the ones we sell. (of course we sell commercial color machines), and according to the guys who rip them apart on a daily basis, there is a way around it (i haven't verified this tho). For each one of the printers, there is a "US" driver and an "Other" driver. From what I understand, all you do is switch the driver to the non US version and the printers no longer identify. (I would love eff to test this theory, as I already run all mine w the "generic" drivers.

Wonder if they have to include a module to avoid the worms when they approach, so the spice will be safe...
