Later this year I shall be going abroad for about nine months (No I
will not be doing 9 months inside). When I go I would like to know what
is the best practice for shutting down my printer - and particularly
for the cartridges. Should I take them out or leave them in the
machine?

The printer is an HP 5552(quite new, so this situation has not arisen
before) It is set up to use black only though of course both are
loaded).

Thank you in advannce.

Hank
