I don't understand why someone would throw a printer like that in the shred pile. First of all the yards by me won't take them as shred. Second you would be wasting money by not taking it apart, wires,mid grade boards, electric motors toner cartridges and steel. Just my .02 Pitcher#4 the thing on the bottom next to your foot is the toner cartridges.

I agree, primarily for the reason that it's just fun to take things apart. I've already noticed several motors and boards that I have yet to reach on the carcass of this thing. Also, there are numerous large copper leads connected to several of the metal components.

Ok, but what about the other two cartridge looking things? Are they just part of the roller assembly or are they something more?
