Will my all in one printer break If I keep disconnecting it and keep moving it from one place to another? ?

I recently bought a all in one printer on Sunday I had set it up in my room, but these past two days I’ve been disconnecting it and bringing it to the kitchen table and once I’m done using the printer I disconnect it and take it back to my room. I don’t know If the printer could break If I keep disconnecting it and keeping moving it from one place to another.

    Regular printers are not meant to be portable. Turning them on and off not only shortens their life, it wastes a lot of ink because each time you turn it off, it flushes the heads then when you turn it on it pushes more ink to the heads. The article below was written for epson but applies to most if not all inkjets.

    Why do you need to move it? Does it have WiFI (most do)? If it does you can print to it from anywhere in WiFi range without moving it.

    If you're gentle and careful it'll be fine.

    If you keep doing it you're going to cause unnecessary wear to the connectors etc. with all the plugging and disconnecting, plus printers do not like having their innards joggled. And you risk dropping it.  Best to keep it safely in one place if you can.
