- drummer 5y ago> in case the printer starts acting suspicious. These days that is a very real possibility if you run Windows.
- deregulateMed 5y agoI think the real solution is to use an obscure privacy version of Linux.
- toyg 5y ago> a single printer You've already lost, then. Printers' output can be uniquely identified. Nothing should ever be in dead-tree format. If you need to carry something that does not need electricity to display text, use eInk. Or build your own printer.
- fma 5y agoTime to hoard type writers?
- anigbrowl 5y agoSome can, not all. Also, many printers are cheap, so if you are worried about this just buy them used and change them periodically. Good luck tracking someone down who bought their printer off Craig's list or at a pawn shop.
- fuzxi 5y agoOlder printers don't add identification to printed pages. I don't remember the exact year but I think the rule of thumb is that anything from the 80's or older is safe.
- rixed 5y agoAlso, it's notoriously hard to obtain a copy of a printer's driver source code.
