Interesting, I didn't know about printer fingerprints.
But I think there are still ways to workaround this. You could print the doc in an internet cafe, or buy a cheap printer and then destroy it, or print it and then take a low quality photocopy. You could even write it by hand or on a typewriter.
A photocopier is a (scanner+printer), so the problem remains.
Your best bet is large flea markets, where you can buy stuff like WiFi dongles, etc. with cash. Then wait a while before you use them.
I can't believe I'm having to write this, either. This is like giving instructions to a Soviet activist in the Cold War days, but ironically it is in my own country. How did we fall so far?
Have somebody else buy it with cash only. Surveillance cameras catching you with a printer and then not able to explain where it went will not go well.
I can't believe I actually am saying this. I truly can't believe that we are all having these kinds of conversations about something that should be as trivial as telling the truth. This is the kind of stuff I imagine the Russian mob would do, not employees of the US government who have a conscious. It is truly despicable and makes me a bit nauseated. The worse part is there doesn't seem like a fix and there doesn't seem like there is anywhere else to go to avoid this.
