Technical solutions are possible and sexy I guess, but it begs the question:
Why don't you get him to manually sign *one* copy of it, and then photocopy
it for the rest of the 1499?  Surely it would be easier and faster to
do your production run on a photocopier than many hours on the poor little
printer.  Besides, I don't think I'd like having my signature on line in
such a convenient format for duplication.
