MODERATORS
Every time this is brought up someone has to remind people that printers watermark whatever they print with a unique ID in barely readable type. That's, for example, why they refuse to print something in black when yellow is low. And it's a legal requirement.
That is only specific brands like HP with only specific models as well.

Your own link says that as of 2017 assume all new printers print some form of tracking
Watch me buy a 1990s hunk of shit laser jet as big as my desk just to fuck with feds
Try a 1980s Genicom with separate containers for toner and waste toner.
Black and white printers can't do that, but as I mentioned in another comnent, if you do have a color printer, add lots of yellow dots before you print it out.
