Folks who don't like to be surveilled: This is a friendly reminder to avoid color printers made by #Brother, #Canon, #Dell, #Epson, #HP, #IBM, #Minolta, #Kyocera, #Lexmark, #Panasonic, #Ricoh, #Sharp, #Toshiba, & #Xerox https://www.eff.org/pages/list-printers-which-do-or-do-not-display-tracking-dots #trackerdots

For my curiosity do you know of any laser printers that work well with Linux (no binary blobs) and are guaranteed to not have tracker dots?
@crazydeepgrowth AFAIK, no printer maker guarantees their printers not to have tracker dots (regardless of OS). A few admit to having tracker dots, and a vast majority were caught producing tracker dots. I've not heard of any monotone printers that have tracker dots. Most printer makers have lots of ethical issues, but the lesser of evils seems to be Oki. I would consider a b&w Oki laser.
