If you can't reprint, what do you do if the invoice jams in the
printer?  What if you need to issue a copy to the customer for other
reasons?  As I say, Greece is a special case.

while photocopying would invalidate the invoice as a legal document
for tax purposes.

I think what I did for Greece and SL last time was to require some
sort of administrative approval to reprint.
