I'm just curious how the person is using the printer, or why they have it. I haven't had a printer in over a decade since I left college. I need to print something maybe once every other year, I go to the library.

I know its a joke clearly, but what good is a printer if you don't have anything to send a print job to it.

I have this old & tiny b&w laser printer that someone gave me that is actually perfect for the 2 prints a year I need to do, by my calculation the toner it came with should last me roughly another 250 years.

They meant 3D Printer. I'm not elaborating. No I'm not saying I actually know they meant that, but that is the case in my home.

I bought a laser printer 7 years ago. It's still plugged into my network and I use it about once every 6 months on average. My GF prints out papers for the kid to color on and whatnot.

A proper printer isn't bad. Even in the work place. Just don't make a public printer out of a shared usb printer and shut off the computer...
