How to Buy a Used Printer in Pakistan (Safely)
A used printer can be a fantastic deal — or a money pit. The difference is whether you check the right things before paying. Here's the checklist we wish every buyer used.
Ask for the lifetime page count
Every laser printer tracks how many pages it has printed — think of it as the odometer. A reset or hidden page count is the biggest red flag. A reputable seller shows you the real number. Under ~20,000 pages on a typical office laser means lots of life left.
Test before you pay
- Print a full test page — check for streaks, faded patches or lines (worn drum/toner).
- Print 4–5 pages in a row to confirm the paper feed doesn't jam.
- Test connectivity you'll use — USB, Wi-Fi or network.
- On all-in-ones, run a scan and a copy too.
Watch for these red flags
- Seller won't let you test it before paying.
- No warranty of any kind — even 7 days.
- Vague answers about page count or condition.
- Price that's 'too good' for the model — often means a hidden fault.
