It's year old+ news that it happens, now someone is cracking it, so that's news.
However, if it's a work printer, its probably shared by lots of people, so the printer won't rat you out. The file/print server will. Many business computer network servers keep track of who prints what when and to where.
The publicized reason is to track counterfitters, since color printers are so good at creating realistic images now. I don't counterfit, but still don't like the idea of widescale covert goverment/business undocumented privacy invasions.
I imagine we could be able to extract this from pagescans in the near future just like our digital photos have exif data. The difference is that exif in photos is a feature, not a secret.
