📎 AI Summary:
A user is concerned that printing a document after disconnecting from the internet could still result in the document being accessible online later. Another contributor asks about the printer setup, implying that if files remain stored on the computer, they could be retrieved later. The original poster clarifies they need to transfer files via a flash drive to a printer connected to another computer, and a subsequent reply suggests this method mitigates the risk of online access.

For the record: I have a mechanical switch box which will completely disconnect me from the internet. Here's the question: If I have an invention with a couple of diagrams I want to type up, print and snail mail to an interested party, can anyone see this document when I go back on line ? Thank you :headache:

Is the printer connection to the system or network?
And of course if the files remain in the system after you print this document i.e after getting back to the public internet then that would be a lot easier to get a copy

The wife and I only have one printer. I connected it to her desktop and would have to bring the file (or files) into her room on a flash drive.
