Just by supplying some basic information to this website, you can find out quite a bit of information. Property values, for example. Or an employment history. For example, I am listed as the following:
John Albers at World Adult Kickball Association
Newsletter Co-Editor - John Albers
Which would be a great job, especially if it paid.

And you get in for kickball. I am so lame.

The code contains information such as when the document was printed, and the serial number of the printer. By working with the printer manufacturers and vendors, government agencies can determine who printed those documents. Here's more detail on the EFF website, and a list of other printers that print out such codes.
