Depends how good your printer is :-)

Did you know there are marker dost in inkjet printers that
show model and serial number so they can trace your prints?
And that code has been partially cracked.
So you need to write your own printer firmware anyways.

Where is the dost on my paper located (HP inkjet)?

It is amazing that he who always provides google links did not do so this time.
Took me less then 30 seconds to find this page:

Limitations of this information

A "no" simply means that we couldn't see yellow dots; it does not prove that
there is no forensic watermarking present. (For example, the HP Color
LaserJET 8500 series does not include any yellow tracking dots that we can
see, but it may still include some kind of forensic marking, since the
majority of other Color LaserJET models do. Other forensic marking
techniques have been invented, and we do not yet know how to determine
whether these techniques are used by a particular printer.)

Is Your Printer Spying On You?

So anyways printers _have_ these markings, just they are ment to be invisible,
and to a mathema... that probab;ly means they _are_ invisible or _not_there_,
but that is no guarantee they are not there.
I give you that I wrote 'inkjet' and this is 'laser'.
the better counterfitter would likely use a laser printer anyways perhaps.

So, if you use an inkjet, HP, to print the 100$ bills, we will have to wait
to see if they get to you.
Keep posting as a positive they have not.
