subwoofer interference with printer... can it happen?

[Spike]

I just got a free okidata OL400e from my dad, he got it from some company that is upgrading to faster printers... Anyway, the printer works great (slow, but good) and I was looking for a place to put it. I currently have it under my desk on top of my z-560 subwoofer. I just started thinking that it might not be the best place for it... I know that a sub can damage other magnetic things such as your hdd and can also interfer with some monitors, but what about with LED printers? (or is it a laser? it says led on it but does that mean the same thing?)

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

I'd be less worried about the magnetic interference, than rattling the printer apart. Plus if your thumpin' pretty hard when you send a print job, you might shake toner off the page

ok, thanks for the reply. I don't usually thump real loud, though this sub is certainly capable of it. it is only a temporary setup (like 3-4 weeks) then I am moving and will find a better arrangement. I just wanted to make sure it would not damage the printer. Again, thanks for the reply
