Should I turn off my printer when I'm not using it?

You may turn off your printer between each use, but it is recommended not to unplug it. Unplugging your printer each time you are finished using it can affect its longevity, how it prints, and how it cleans itself. One of the best ways to prolong the lifespan of your printer is to keep it in standby mode.

How often should I replace my printer?

If cared for properly, printers should last between three to five years, but sometimes longer depending on the brand. Printers need to be replaced due to their machinery wearing down over time. You'll know when your printer needs to be replaced when it begins having troubleshooting errors, difficulty printing, or the quality of the printing deteriorates.

Are all ink cartridges compatible with any printer?

In order to determine which ink cartridge is compatible with your printer, it is best to check the manual that comes with it. Most often, brands of printers take ink or toner that is either the same brand as the printer or a specific compatible kind.
