Buy a thermal printer!

It just burns the paper and is usually good enough for majority of your needs.

Keep a cheap ink based printer handy because the world hasn't moved on yet

Don't they use special paper? And fade after a few years?
Yes and yes, actually it will fade even quicker - and of course don't think to keep them in sunlight. So it's okay to carry along a minuscule printer (you can get thermals the size of a stick) to update your handouts before a meeting, but that's about it.
Yes, and the special thermal paper sheds BPA when you handle it.
