Amazon "printer" question
 

I have a quick question. Over the months occasionally while reading threads about Amazon's tracking/linking capabilities people mention the printer as a possible culprit to link accounts. I just bought a brand new wireless printer I am hooking up tonight and have 3 or 4 different computers I use for accounts. I want to use the printer to be able to print orders for each account. Does anyone know for certain if Amazon does have the ability to link accounts via printer usage? What if I'm 100% wireless (connecting the printer to the router with a cable however)? Any info any of you can provide. I would really appreciate it. I've been extremely careful and have read the Stealth guide so this is something I've never investigated much as of yet.
Thank you!

They cannot link you through the printer, wireless or not. Don't worry about it.

I wouldn't take any chances with Amazon. A wireless printer will have a mac address, and who knows what Amazon is capable of. But thats me.

That's what scares me. How much info do they pull from your computer?
If I'm using the printer only wirelessly will they be able to see the MAC
address of it even then?

No, they can't. But change it if that makes you feel better.

Printer alone will not make you linked. I would rather focus on replacing your computer from your blocked account, or at the very least having the Ethernet/Wireless card replaced and creating new user account.
