For various reasons others have mentioned you can't stop them printing
multiple copies once they have the image.
So ... make the coupon a little more complex - include a serial number on the
coupon. It could be something as crude as a counter or as complex as an MD5
encrypted time reference. There would also be numerous ways to script it with
server-side scripting if you have access to that.
You couldn't stop forgeries ... but depending on how you integrate the serial
number that may be easy to detect. Then you would also have to keep track of
unique coupons returned ...
Good luck,
