Not at all, i have salvaged perhaps about 40-50 different printers
i take out the drive electronics, plenty of nice motor drivers,
and i take out the stepping motors, many of them hardly used at all,
i have a big cardborad box full of stepping mortors !!

(i confess, i salvage some ink too, i mix them in buckets in 
manufacturer order all in a big black mess!! :-)
