I used to quick start my mower by a spray into the carb. This tells me
that WD40 apart from being an intoxicatingly manly perfume, is
flammable.
I suggest that the static ball of fluff which is any print device with
paper crud, chad, and other ephemeral bits of detritus (including
probably half a tonne of skin flakes) is not the best place to spray
WD40.
Do it outside.
real programmers don't let other programmers smoke around printing devices...

heard of it but never tried it.
