Just a thought/something to perhaps consider.

Yes, you are correct. After many years of the older HP type printers, we bought two HP laser printers many moons ago. The toner cartridges were very pricey.........but never gave us any problems when we'd go away for long periods of time. We just left everything "as is".......never took our printers apart.

I just recently changed to an HP pavilion laptop when my hard drive "tower" crashed.....got rid of the big thin screen monitor and ditto for the huge laser printer.....which was a monster on the desk..........

The new HP "wireless" printer which is PHOTOSMART 7520 has the tiniest little toner cartridges.........I love them. No storage issues. So tiny.
It prints beautifully. Everything is wireless....the computer, the printer.

I would just leave it be......when we go on vacation this summer......
