    I bought mine (HL2270-DW) 12 years ago for college. Last week I plugged it in after it sat for several years and printed off some stuff for family with 0 problems. I think it’s only on its second toner as well.

      They last much longer in storage /without printing because toner is a powder, so it can’t dry out. The print head of an inkjet printer (part of the cartridge) will dry out if you don’t use it for a few weeks.

      Still the exact same printer my family has been using for the past 10 years after our old Inkjet kicked the bucket a measly 3 months after it was born. And it has seen some stuff, including being dropped at least twice, plastic film in the paper compartment, coffee-stained (for aged effect) paper, and even a x-acto knife blade that somehow ended up in there.
