Imposing a Print Limit

[sjcallas]

I want to send a link to a coupon in my company's newsletter but I want the recepients to be able to print it only once from the coupon web page. How would I go about limiting the number of times a user or a computer can print the coupon? Would there be a way to make it so that the coupon page can be printed only once per email address, that way someone can't print it from multiple computers?

Thanks.

So if they can only print it once....can't they then photocopy it? Or, when they do get to the print coupon page, they just take a screenshot of the coupon, copy and paste it into MS Paint and print it a hundred times from there?

Unless you have some other means of securing the usage of the coupon (a very flimsy hypothetical example being - database of barcodes, once a barcode is scanned at the place of retail then it removes that barcode from the database) then only allowing the user to print it once really doesn't do anything. I wouldn't waste your time on worrying about how to solve this kind of problem.
