Description
When printing seeds or SSKR with the macOS version of SeedTool, there is a security risk to users as apparently macOS keeps a copy of all completed printed files in:
```
/var/spool/cups/FILENAME /Users/USERNAME/Desktop/FILENAME.pdf
```
…and does not delete them.
see: https://bgr.com/tech/macos-saves-a-copy-of-every-print-you-have-ever-taken-heres-how-to-find-them/
Obviously the user could
```
sudo rm -r /var/spool/cups
```
but supposedly…
```
sudo service cups stop
sudo service cups start
```
…might be safer.
Don't know if there is anything an app can do to prevent this archive.
I don't know if there is an equivalent problem with iOS.
