couple of years ago I found a good deal on an HP all in one printer so I bought it as my brother printer was playing up. Since then, the Brother printer has been working fine and I like it because of it is cheap ink. I am thinking now..is there a chance that the HP printer is damaged because of storage for two years? will the printer heads be clogged even though I did not open the box at all? I will appreciate advice

If it's BNIB it should be fine. The print heads and lines etc don't get filled before first use.0

Is it stored below the water table? :-)0

HP printers usually have print heads built into the cartridges, not the printer, so at worst, put a couple of new carts in and you're good to go0
