In an inkjet printer? No.
The little amount of storage in the device only stores the printer firmware, so the printer knows how to print. There is no identification of the user with the device at all, unless you registered the printer with HP when you bought it. Even then, I don't believe they identify the individual printer - only the model of the printer. After all, they make these by the hundreds of thousands to fill the big-box stores, and sell them for $50-150 each; establishing a close relationship with the customer is not their main priority.
Unless you carved your name into the case, no future possessor will ever know it was yours.
