>Print the addresses (be careful here - printers sometimes put identifying marks - get the most common one)
Printer steganography is usually limited to color laser printers and high-end inkjets. Buying a common one unfortunately won't help you. Included in the codes that have been cracked is the serial number of the printer as well as a date and time stamp of the printout.

- sliverstorm 13y agoThe more purchases they can tie to the event, the more information they have and the more chances to track you down. You can slip up at any point- for example, say you buy the printer at Best Buy, and they figure out based on the S/N which Best Buy and what day the sale was made. You can't turn off security cameras in Best Buy. The fewer transactions, the better.
