Well, if the estate sale didn't take any of your information or if you gave false info. And waited a year or two. Would be very difficult for them to track down.
Expecting someone who ran an estate sale or other customers to remember an accurate description of who bought this printer a year or two ago... Very unlikely.
Ideally you use it for whatever you intended and then burned it bagged it up and took it to the dump yourself as well. before dissemenating any of the flyers or what have you.
Now, you should be able to avoid beiing tracked and even if the police manage to track you down for buying that printer and SUSPECT you printed it. Would have no actual proof.

That was my point though, they don't have to have taken your info. The police can poll the cell providers to find out who was connected to that tower around the time of the estate sale. Either that or if they happen to have a stingray device (IMSI catcher). So all you would have had to have done was be in that area around that time with your phone on and they would know you were there. Granted it would have to be something more serious for them to go to that effort, but don't be naive about what the police are capable of finding out given the right motivation.

Go to estate sale, leaving your phone at home.
