No printer is safe no matter how old. They were added from the beginning. The very first xerox had them, there are declassified cold war intelligence docs about it. They used them early in the BTK investigation they could tell his notes came from the college printers in wichita but weren't able to narrow it more than that until he sent that disc decades later.
