This is good advice, but I don't think this is why most people with printers don't have them. I need to print something approximately two times a year. I would rather go to my office or the library when that happens rather than have even a very functional appliance taking up space in my apartment. I have never in my life needed to print something so urgently that I can't wait until the library is open.

Maybe it's the combination of living in the US + having kids, but I'm finding myself printing a LOT. Not a week goes by without a couple of forms to print, fill out by hand and (perversely) scan and email back.

Main culprits are schools, doctors, dentists and extracurricular activities.
