    I recently hooked up a HP IIP Laser printer to a mechanical switch
box.  Everything seems to work fine but I had someone tell me that HP
voids the warranty since it is connected to a mechanical switchbox if
 the printer breaks?

    If this is true, would the problem be resolved by turning the print-
er off before switching the box and then power it back up.  Will this 
protect the printer?

    Is this true for all HP laser printers?

Please post any responses or email.
