hooray my fuser has jammed, my transfer belt has stretched, toner is smeared everywhere, my printer weighs a ton.
How often are you moving your printer that the weight is a concern?
I have wiped a toner cartridge with a paper towel and chucked thst sucker back into a ye olde HP from 20 years ago with a broken guider clip and it still prints perfectly fine.
I wiped it because it was leaving a smudge at the edge of the paper after never cleaning the rollers for aforementioned 20 years.
I guess I can add briefcase printer for mission impossible as a use case for inkjet lol
HP Laserjet 4000 here. I love it. I could use it to kill a skunk and then put it back on the desk and print a novel for $0.25
