Yes, I maintain two at different locations and am often asked by printerless friends if they can use them. Most use is bureaucratic stuff like forms for various licenses and permits and etc, but I have a manual on the use of a particular bit of software that I am writing, I find it nice to print that out and make marks in the margins for later editing. I'll get an Epson EcoTank color printer as my next one, and maybe the https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/openprinter if it ever comes out and is really open. I also would not mind a decent receipt printer. I forgot that I own a couple of Dymo label printers too, and wrote some driver software for them years and years ago. But free printers that have enough ink or toner to last a while are pretty common. Not having a printer is like only having a phone and not a laptop. It labels you as a consumer and recipient of culture and society, instead of a participant. | ||
