Hey there Opsec guyz and girlz!
 
Do you think this setup is safe?

1. Tails running on Laptop from USB Stick with encrypted persistant storage > no internetconnection
2. Files with seeds/passw/etc stored there
3. Print files from this setup via ethernet-cable on a printer (hp laserjet 5000dn, connected to belkin N300 router but with no internet connection)

My questions:

• from my understanding tails shouldn’t be corrupted even if the computer where it’s running is, true? (i think chances of a built in hardware-key-logger can be dismissed)

• I am wondering if printed files could somehow be retrieved from the printer (I removed additional RAM from motherboard) — And if it’s enough to
Code:
reset memory
on the printer’s interface. Just in case it ever leaves my possession.

• could the router be corrupted > so that it kind of stores this data and/or sends it, given it could ever establish an internet connection (this is really worstcase thinking)

Thanks in advance.
If there is a better thread for this > tell me please!
