McDude, my advice is to take the printer home. Depending on the type of printer cartridge, one where the print head is on the cartridge, those can be removed and taken to a warm storage place (home).

Printers where the cartridge is really an ink tank and the ink flows from that to a print head, take the printer home. If you pull the ink tanks, the ink left behind can dry out and block the flow of ink come springtime.

For me, unless it takes three men and a boy to carry the printer, take it home and use it once or twice a month to keep the flow of ink going.
