Be careful where you print these. Most full-featured printer/copier/scanner devices found in office environments can store print job data on the HD where service technicians can access it.

There's always paper-age[0] for those who want to add symmetric encryption (via age) to their qr-encoded secrets! ;)

Edit: I now see it was already mentioned.

For extra fun, the printer is likely either on the network or has bluetooth. Age-old poorly written embedded computer with network services written in C is the industry standard. It's totally plausible to break in and steal previously-printed data.
I'll use my own printer, and after it dies on me, I will give it the Office Space treatment ;)
