      It’s not clear to me exactly what Deda does to anonymise a document before printing, they talk about masking the dots, but it seems to me that the easiest way would just be to create a list of all possible dot positions, and print a yellow dot on a random subset of them (or, indeed, all of them), so confounding anyone trying to identify the real dots. Ideally this would be a CUPS filter, so you could just set it up once and have all printouts anonymised.

        That’s also something you can do with Deda. It’s a full analysis tool with reading, identification, creating custom dots, and masking dots. So for example, if you use openprinter for something subversive but want to avoid identification due to lack of dots, you could create fake dots to hide that your printer doesn’t use them
