I bought this printer to use for one month on vacation and would like to use it again for one month next year, but I have to leave it in storage. Might I have any luck with getting it to work after one year in storage? Any thoughts on what I should do before I pack it up? Thanks.

Hi billingw,
If you are not going to use the printer for a long period of time, we recommend taking the two ink cartridges out of the machine and storing them in a sealed ziplock bag. This will help prevent the clogging or drying up of the ink. When you go to use the printer again, you will need to install the ink cartridges and perform several print head cleanings.
