Just curious, but why would you print so much less that you could do
away with a printer altogether? I have an iPad and an Android phone,
but still print things all the time. Damn if I am going to plop either
unit on the kitchen counter with a recipe or hand one off for a list
of meds at one of my doc visits.

Long walk.

We print and scan all the time - fax, too. Not everyone can use
electronic transfer of data all the time.

And here at the office we print scan and fax a lot, also. In fact,
there is a repairman here right now replacing the fuser on an old
workhorse of an HP 5Si.

Ain't nothing paperless about my house or my office.
