Oh damn well if 2 people are doing it in your industry, printers must be useless to everyone!
When I worked in the field I carried a laptop but still mostly worked off of paper. Paper-sized ectronics are pretty useless on ladders and plans are too hard to read on a phone. Paper can also fold and go in a pocket
You missunderstood, one is a psychiatrist, the other a social-something. I just say it’s a thing already.
No, i don’t see how paper is a neccesity in your examples. And i did work in a company for a while, creating software for phones/tablets/notebooks for exatly those usecases, optimizing workflows in industry. Especially plans can be vastly more useful in digital form, look up IFC format.

No, they don’t. And they won’t, unless they work on a dirty construction site on top of a ladder wearing protective gloves themselves. Or have to actually use plans.

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.
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
I’d so throw out my HP printer if it wasn’t my scanner. Edit: January 26th, 2024 9:17 AM EST I’d like to say I finally got a brother laser printer, but it doesn’t do scanning. I don’t use the HP printer for printing documents though.
Buying old HP LaserJets is a good option if you can find them. More or less no maintenance once primed, and the cartridge is CHEAP. It is extremely reliable as well.
Our Brother laser printer just ran out of toner for the 2nd time in 12+ years. We bought a new toner cartridge for $12 that will last us another 5+ years.
After purchasing a inkjet printer every year/year and a half because it would dry out the ink and make the nozzles unusable, I found a ~$80 black and white laser printer that came with an extra cartridge for another $20, and now we see how long that will last which should be considerable longer, and i will have won the game
Bruh, I only use my printer/scanner to scan documents and I prefer to go to a store to print things. I get charged $0.03USD (I’m not from the US though) for every printed page, which is WAY cheaper than buying an ink cartridge from HP.
If you’re like me and only print something once or twice a year, check whether you can print at your local library. It may cost a few cents per sheet, but I’d sooner give my library a dollar than give a company like HP a penny
