    If you print lots of photos in the USA, printing to the nearest drugstore (Walgreens, rite aid) is certainly cheaper.

    If you print a lot of documents in the USA, printing at the library is often free, sometimes a small fee.

    Not sure on other countries, but here in the USA, I’ve found a printer completely unnecessary.

      I kinda agree about the photos, but when printing documents, it’s almost always something I need immediately. Going to the library is quite inconvenient.

      I bought a used brother laser printer for 15€ and got two 1000 page toner Cartridges for it for 20€. That’s quite a lot of printing for 35€ total and that will be enough for years with my needs. Definitely worth the convenience imo.

        I agree. I have a brother laser printer. However, I’m currently traveling and have it packed away in a trailer. I’ve found the library more convenient than unpacking it. For now. Haha
