Can the Government Track Your Printer?
I ran across this: How to Distribute Radical Shit: Don't Trust Your Printer.
I don't know if this is true or just a conspiracy theory so I leave it to you to research and decide.
If you are buying a new printer it might be a case for a dot matrix (do they still make those) or something other than a color ink jet.
Ink jets don't work for me, I use a printer so rarely that the jets are always dried out and clogged when I want to use it. YMMV.
