Which printer (not 3d) is safe to use and does not have privacy risks? Transfering files via usb only without any internet connection? Should I avoid any brand or model? Namaste.

I can’t say anything in regard to modern printers, but I don’t trust any proprietary device conncted to the internet. I have an old inkjet and an old laser printer, both without network functionality themselves - but I connected them via USB to a Raspberry Pi, which runs a printer server and makes them available on the local network. I can print and scan from my Linux laptop, and I also managed to print something from my Android phone. Haven’t tried Windows yet. Configuration of the Raspberry Pi was easy, especially enabling scanning via the network.
uh that sounds great. i’d like to hear more on what you did. I tried switching to linux for all thing concerning files but I cant get the scan feature to work in linux, so using a Pi4 would be an awesome option.
