If you have the time and like to tinker, fix it and donate it.
If you don't have the time nor like to tinker, e-cycle it.

Staples. For a while now, the Staples office-supply chain has been recycling printers and other hardware—no matter where you bought it—for free. You can drop off the machine at your local Staples store, or call to have it picked up. Not only will the company pick up your printer for you, but you can also call ahead to request a box and other packaging. Furthermore, Staples is an e-Stewards Enterprise, meaning that the company has committed to using e-Stewards-certified recyclers to handle the equipment it collects, thereby assuring that your old printer gets moved on to the next phase in its e-waste journey responsibly.
Best Buy. Like Staples, Best Buy has been recycling e-waste, including printers, for years. However, this chain's printer-recycle service is a little more attractive, in that if you bring in any printer, no matter who made it or where you bought it, the store will give you 15 percent off select new HP printers. This is a terrific deal if you're in the market for another printer, and the "select" models meet your needs. A drawback versus the Staples program, though, is that in most cases, Best Buy charges a fee to haul away your unit.
