thats only for evidence/prosecution for fraud/criminal intents. If one say's "NO WAY I said and printed that contract" ... "Lemmy check...oh! You did. Its your printer. Look!".
I think its not like "somebody gone to each..", but rather "... a good idea".
Preventing anonymous publishing is not a good idea, it is malicious.
Wishing to publish anonymously is not exclusive to those perpetrating fraud or other crimes. Privacy is important to a free society.
you can publish anonymously. no one hinders you. But in case it is illegal, prosecuters have evidence - which isn't malicious or bad per c'est. And, knowing which printer has been used for the illegal thing, doesn't mean the location of the printzer is known, too. So, no probs or conflict with that from my side.
If you really afraid, just overlay your PDFs with noise of yellow dots before printing. Or apply a digimarc pattern onto that with gibberish. That will mitigate recognition unless the digimarc pattern is recognized and removed, which is kind of difficult if unknown (https://www.digimarc.com/). There are possibilities.
Wait, you can publish anonymously as long as the government approves of your speech and doesn't hinder you?
Then they throw bogus charges on you because "the process is the punishment" and to discourage other people saying things they don't like. Prior restraint is what some would call that.
