Old printer

Can you throw an old printer away or would it need stripping incase it stores info on already printed items.

You can throw it away although best to just donate it.

" As a general rule they only have RAM, which is perfectly erased after a job has been transferred to the print processor. Some printers do have a history of print jobs, but nothing about details, just names of ID and the computer they were printed from. I hope this helps. "

Industrial printers may have a hard drive but not likely with an inkjet

If it works, donating it is worth considering
