Average lifespan
Printers suffer from mechanical wear on gears and rollers. Cheaper inkjets may last a few years, while robust laser printers can last over a decade.
Error: Paper Jam
Paper is stuck inside the feed mechanism. Open all access doors and gently pull the paper out in the direction of the paper path.
Error: Cartridge Not Recognized
The printer cannot read the chip on the ink or toner cartridge. Remove it, wipe the copper contacts, and firmly reinstall.

Common Failure Modes
Inkjet printers almost always fail due to dried and clogged printheads from infrequent use. Laser printers are much more robust but may eventually require fuser or drum replacements after thousands of pages.
