Computer printers are the most aggravating contraptions known to man.  Take a sledge hammer to it!

Theraputic value:  Priceless !

Harvesting Inkjet Printer Parts
Posted by cedarwoodron on Wednesday, September 7, 2016 5:52 PM

I recently had to replace a 10 yr old HP 3310 inkjet printer, as it would cost far more to "repair" it than buy a new one.

As no one would buy it (unless they just want to tinker), I intend to salvage parts from it for future use in rebuilding / repowering old engines and such.

I know to harvest the various small motors, but what other parts should I look for to preserve in this process?
