    Issue shares/equity to the printer seller.

    Explanation:

    I'm this scenario, if the business were to obtain a loan to cover the purchase the debt portfolio will increase.

    If the old printer is sold to buy a new one it both increase debt profile when the new printer is obtained, and involves cash on sale of the old printer.

    The only way to get the printer without increasing debt is to issue shares for its purchase. This way the cost will be considered capital acquisition and not a debt the company has to pay off
