i dunno. i genuinely can't remember the last thing i had to print out. maybe some expense claim forms in 2019 before the pandemic accelerated paperless processes? can't think of any after that.

it's not all that far-fetched a notion.

    I mean I only use my own printer once a year at most but plenty of other people still have to print things personally and professionally for various reasons. Many printed things can be replaced by technology but not everything. Fax was just a way to get information from one place to another - every single part of what it does is done better and easier with email and other tech
