Why would a firewall restrict the number of copies of a document?
Would the firewall scan the data stream for the IPP 'copies' attribute
and abort the document if it were present?

Why and how would a firewall restrict an image to black & white?
This implies examination of the actual document content to me,
something which you later state is probably not going to occur.
Jobs might be limited to black & white due to document size
constraints, but not just because they are color.
