I had a HP 1220C and used it quite often. The power switch went bad and would not turn off or on normally. Frequent on and off may have been a contributing factor.
I'm now using a 895Cse.
It is better to leave it on 24 hours a day or turn it on and off multiple times a day.
And why or why not?
Leaving it on could eventually kill the power supply.......?
Off and on eventually ruins the on / off switch.......?
The on / off switch failing is the lesser concern here.
..............well, a perfectly good 1220C off / on switch went bad, so off and on, multiple times a day, possibly the caused the switch failure, thus the thinking about the switch on the current printer, a 895Cse, experiencing on and off versus on 24 hours a day.

On 24 hours a day, it may go into standby mode but the green led stays on.
Also, I have not heard this old printer cleaning the heads when it is turned on.
I hear it doing something after the cover is closed after replacing the cartridge.
That may be the cartridges moving from the center to the far right where the cartridges stay when the printer is not being used.
