Exactly. Forensic marking only works if the person who bought the
printer at the store pays for it using some means that can be tracked or
registers the printer for the warranty. So it's easy to get around.
Pay with cash.
Don't send in the warranty card. Of course you do risk the printer
breaking down.
Buy only the printer. If you buy something else and send in the
warranty card for that, it gives them a way to track you.
Buy a used printer, but remember to pay cash for it.
