Toner doesn't dry up :) Watch the older type fusers though- they can develop 'flat spots' on the rollers. The newer printers use a ceramic type fuser which has fast warm-up and no flat spot troubles. Also keep the dust low on _any_ printer and it will last longer and perform better. Dusty paper can cause major issues (both printing and mechanical) as well.
