"Non-printable" page?
If you can display it on a screen, it should not be too difficult to capture the image.
Can the "Print Screen" capture method be disabled? (Copies the screen's visual display to the clipboard, at least on MS-Windows--presume there is something similar for Linux and Mac.)
Or will they try to figure out a way to keep that captured image from being fed to (or rendered unreadable) an OCR program?
As I always predict, with every generation of DRM, some 14 year old will figure out a way immediately, before they have even finished their initial tests of the Google Print project. Interesting, tho, that they called it Google PRINT when PRING is exactly what you can NOT do. . . . I wonder if they plan to charge for printing? mh
