Are there resources to determine whether a consumer grade printer has some internal memory that stores the contents of printed documents, and/or information how to securely delete any such memory?

Best resource would be to ask the manufacturer. How much printers cache and how they secure it varies widely.
For Consumer grade hardware, there is unlikely to be a mechanism for securely wiping the contents provided, since consumers don't need such a feature, so probably you'd need to look at physical destruction.

Depending on how user serviceable it is, you could remove the storage and wipe it externally. – forest Apr 12 '16 at 01:49
