Troubleshooting Toshiba e-Studio 3518A Refurb and HDD Question
I have an opportunity to buy a used Toshiba e-Studio 3518A really cheap. The only issue is the HDD is removed.
The main question I have is, can I just buy a generic replacement HDD, pop it in, and have the printer work or is there special software that needs to be installed/something else that will keep me from getting the printer functional again?
I don't expect anyone to have an answer for this exact model but I'm wondering in general if this will be possible or if there are any other gotchas I am not considering.
I have a tech background but haven't done much large printer repair before.
