Advice on printers (hexbear.net)

I want to acquire a printer soon, mainly to print Communist propaganda (flyers, and zines principally). Would like to get something with a minimum of proprietary bullshit, that is relatively cheap to operate/ maintain and which ideally isn't just complete spyware. Not sure such things exist, but would appreciate advice

All modern printers have micro dots printed to identify the printer to help with tracing criminal activities. So buy used and pay cash. If you want to put out info that would likely be used to prosecute you, find an old dot matrix one.
