I don't own a printer, and I feel like when I have to print something I usually employ one of the following strategies:

1) Going to an office supply store, library, or university with the PDF of what I need to print on a USB drive.

2) My workplace providing a printer for work-related printing.

I can imagine good reasons why someone would need to own a printer, but it seems almost like a car these days. If you don't want to deal with one, and you can live your life effectively without, it might be better to rely on services to print for you.

That's a good strategy.

I own a printer, because I need to print shipping labels. I didn't own one until I started doing a lot of shipping. Even in college the CS lab let us print for free (the library charged) so I used that to print out assignments. I bought the cheapest black and white only laser printer in existence - $25.
