What seems to make very good sense to me would be a device that would correctly format and print your ballot with the names you chose.  If you typed in Bugs Bunny for a particular office, the \"ballot writer\" would dutifully format that text in the correct ballot position for the office.  If you checked one of the \"normal\" candidates, that name would appear in the correct place.  You could review all these choices on the screen, then push the button, and a white copy and a colored copy would emerge.  You slide the white copy into the slot and take the colored (say, yellow) copy home.   A scanner can easily read these uniformly-printed white copies.  All candidates actually on the ballot see their votes counted with no issue.  Write-in candidate ballots are sorted out with a red box printed around the write-in (unless previously registered as a candidate and recognized by the scanner, in which case the vote is handled just as for the on-the-ballot candidates), so that the election worker can deal with the voter's intent.

To avoid issues with fraudulent ballots, a barcode (or some other coded image) is printed on the white ballot,
and the writer sends the reader the distinct image, not to be duplicated between any two genuine ballots.  The reader whines if it doesn't get the right barcode, and summons the election workers to offer assistance to the voter.  If necessary, the ballot is not recorded and the voter gets another attempt - or, if found to be passing fraudulent paper, is hauled off to the pokey.
