But be careful where and how you print it, I hear they can trace those things these days.
Use magazine cutouts and glue from the company lol
I mean if you're using your employers equipment they will know who printed it depending on what solution they use.
PaperCut is very popular and logs everything you print, even a copy of the printed file if configured to do so. Minimum: file name, time printed, which printer it was printed at, who printed it, and from what computer it was sent from.

You would definitely want to print it somewhere else.
as far as I know it only applies to color printers

I've always wondered if I could just order a printer from China to get around this
if you want to try diagnosing printer errors in chinese be my guest
WHAT THE FUCK DOES 纸质墨盒 装载信 MEAN?!
the fbi can trace it... your shitdick IT firm or craft supply store or warehouse or whereever you work can't
Then I guess the next question would be would there be a reason for authorities to get involved? Is this a case of harassment? Anyway, it seems the best recourse is to print it in black and white anyway to avoid any tracking dots.
Oh yeah for sure be weary of any corporate controlled hardware. Usually the print server is a separate appliance that is probably logging all print jobs to some extent.
