This might be a bit off topic, but what are you guys using all these printers for?

Perhaps it’s generational but for me they’re in the same package as landline phones, it’s been years since the last time I’ve seen one.

I use mine less than once a month on average and I'm in my 40s :P

I use it for shipping labels, notices to put up, government forms as they are not very digital here. Sometimes a hardcopy of something I'm organizing and want to scribble on.

Also tickets and boarding passes as backup for the electronic version.

I'm still on the toner that came with the printer (which is half empty to begin with!) years after buying it. I use laser because it doesn't run when it gets wet and because there is no ink to dry out with low usage.

I have a printer in my home office only because of work.

For work we use QuickBooks Enterprise and it’s oriented to paper checks.

More interesting, some tasks are _faster_ when you use a paper print. I’m thinking of processing payrolls. You should verify before authorizing the processor to complete the run. I prefer to not waste paper and routinely verify the PDF on screen. But if things go sideways and I’m under pressure, a hard copy is the way to go.

Finally, I do my own vehicle maintenance, and a hard copy of the service manual page is good to have on hand.

I could go to Staples for the service manual pages, but for work that’s just a waste of time.

When my daughter wants to colour something in its handy.

I like to print out tickets sometimes - there's no battery anxiety that way.

“Record keeping” mainly - official returns, paid for professional work product (lawyers, etc) - stuff that you’re obliged to keep, or would cost money to get a new copy of.
