Got kids? All the damn time.

Have craft-related hobbies? All the damn time. Patterns, instructions, et c. Despite having a shitload of iPads and extra laptops and such around. Paper's far nicer in many cases, and sometimes cannot be replaced by a screen of any kind.

No use for iPad though...

Well. Now I know what the kids are doing this weekend. That's really cool, thanks for the link.

My SO likes to bake decorated cakes. When decorating she prints out the design, so she can put the cut-out paper pieces on the cake to finalize sizing and composition of the decoration. Be it text, a symbol or something more elaborate.

Just so much easier than trying to imagine what that thing on the tablet would look like draped over the side of the cake.

Right, there are tons of cases in various crafts, including things like cake decorating, where you need to destroy or deform a template or guide or placeholder, or at least for which it'd be very convenient, if not strictly necessary, to do so. You obviously can't and/or don't want to do that with a screen.

"Daddy, can you print me something" daily here as well, most time wasted on finding the bloody print-and-cut cartoon best in the world character of the week.

A while back I taught my oldest how to turn the printer on (and get the paper coming out, so I don't have to walk and get it myself) and she also wanted to "learn" how to print, so I explained the 2 mouse clicks needed for that. There is just something special about a kid that has unlocked a new magic ability and excitingly walking out of the room to return gleefully with a piece of paper in their hands. So far she printed recipes for cookies (which she somehow learned how to search for), drawings for her little sister and pictures of cats.
