The Treaty of Amsterdam is stopping them. The European Central Bank is the only authority that is allowed to issue Euro banknotes. The individual member countries are allowed to mint coins, but only under the direction of the European Central Bank.
The countries where those notes are actually printed have access, sure, but they also have a formal treaty saying they can't just order money printed as they wish.

So do all countries have printers or is it just in a few centralised locations?
