Soon they'll have a hidden 5G Internet connection that sends all printed material to the manufacturer, who will then sell the data to advertisers and the state.

Are there still any new printers (postscript, laser) that are reasonable? Black and white printing is sufficient.

Or use it themselves. They can just print little tailored ads while you're printing based on your print history.

Not too far out of the question the more i think about it. Remember when we used to print directions and they were often littered with ads intermingled with the steps.

I remember business folks throwing out/"recycling" several pages of scam ads faxed to them overnight, every morning. It's not the same thing but it's the same result.
