Can you determine if a paper was printed from a copier, printer, fax machine?

Is it possible to determine if a paper was printed from a photocopier, printer, or a fax machine? Just say someone handed you a print out letter and ask you to identify the machine that came out from? I can't seem to find any information about it on the internet. Thanks

I usually don't like spending $500+ on brand new college books and when you sell it, you only get like $100 dollars back. I was hoping if there is a website where you can buy/sell used books? thanks
