I bought this M254dw 7 months ago. It was apparently a demo and had starter cartridges in it that only had a couple pages use on them. The printer showed no wear at all. Has original firmware on it.
So I figure cartridges have been opened and in printer for a year, maybe 2. They still have a few months use in them at the rate I use them so I will store them (air sealed, moisture removal packet, dark, horizontal, correct side up) when I get my new 202A set (genuine HP) in a week or so. They have worked flawlessly so far. Does anyone have experience of a stored HP toner cartridge going bad? Thanks!
