I wrote the original article, and that consistently matches what we've learned and heard. However, that doesn't mean that forensics can never identify the printer that printed a document (there's an entire lab at Purdue that's been studying possible ways to do so for over a decade!), just that the printers are not intentionally engineered to track their users.
Edit: It looks like the Purdue lab was only publishing research from 2003 to 2010, or hasn't updated its web site.
