So you will limit access to your services to only those that happen to 
have a printer with them?  Note to self -- buy larger laptop carry bag 
and "protable" printer so can keep using online banking...   8-)

In fact, so uncommon I've not heard of it.

Irrelevant though -- it is far too easily broken and if the OP is 
trying to protect anything sufficiently "valuable" you can bet it will 
be broken, as doing so is just too easy...

(And I won't even get started on the need of such a web-based system to 
require ActiveX and/or system-access privileged Java applets to work at 
all "properly", but will note that, as a general rule, if you need your 
users to lower or weaken the security of their machines to improve the 
security of your system, then there is something fundamentally borked 
in _your_ design!)
