There is no law, but is it assumed there is a secret agreement with the government https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots#:~:tex...

Strictly speaking, no such law exists. My understanding is that it’s a request from the secret service that all of the printer manufacturers have agreed to comply with for counterfeiting reasons.
