    Why is anyone buying a printer at all?

    Hey, printer people out there! What do you you use your printer for? My printer is just sitting idle collecting dust. Can’t think of anything I would need to print. Everything is digital these days.

      In less developed countries, you’d need printed copies for a lot of stuff, especially legal documents.

      Speaking from experience.

      I have a printer for the occasional need to print documents. Mind blowing I know, but that’s why I keep one around. It gathers dust most of the time, but it’s super useful when the odd need arises.

      I for one can’t read correctly anything longer than a lemmy post on a screen. I print more or less anything that I’m want to read with my brain fully present - I usually outline and comment on paper too, makes it easier to remember. Latest use case : printing out dnd character sheets to do my charac design for BG3

        Ok, that seems like a sensible use case.

        I’ve heard many people say that reading stuff on a screen is more distracting and they have trouble focusing. I don’t feel that way, so screens are just fine for me.
