Actually you'd be amazed. Very little on a copier or a printer wears out. The only thing that gets better/changes is the connectivity. Parallel, USB, Ethernet, WiFi. Anything over 600 DPI is a waste. As long as consumables are still avalable and you don't abuse the thing they last forever. I've seen copiers older than me still pumping out prints like the day they were new. Admittedly the newer copiers and printers have a lot more plastic in them than the older units but they still last forever. I've seen copiers come in with 20 million copies and run just fine. They usually look like $h!+ though.
