Is this a CPU or IC?

I don't even know how to do a search on this. I was tearing apart a Lexmark printer and came upon this board:

Here's a close up of the chip I'm asking about:

Since I know very little about this stuff, I'm wondering what it is. Don't know whether or not printers even have a CPU inside them.

tried putting the numbers in to google search ?

I think thats an IC. Processors look a little different.

IC, just leave it on the board.

This is what the type of processor I was talking about looks like:

No. But now that you mention it, that sounds like a good idea. Just learned something new!

Huh?

Edit: Oh, I get it now. You were talking about your previous post. Duh... Sorry, bud.

haha! it's got the manufacturers dot com right there on the chip ; )

You know, I saw that but it's one of those things that just didn't register. I hate when that happens!

If that printer had some memory card slots then yes it might have a processor cause you need to do different functions with it and some printers will load the whole picture/flyer first before it starts printing. (so it has to have memory to do that)

That board would be a mid grade.
