Does HP track what we print and scan?

From the Article: Manufacturers of printers and scanners, working with central banks and law enforcement officials worldwide, have also taken steps to fight counterfeiters, creating software that can detect and block the scanning of bills. “HP works with law enforcement, industry, central banks and government agencies around the world to reduce the risk of counterfeiting activities,” said Michael Thacker, director of media relations for HP, the computer hardware company based in Palo Alto, California. He declined to be more specific: “Due to potential security risks, HP is obligated to keep the details of its activities confidential.”
