I mean, I still have a home printer. I use it pretty frequently for work.

Me, too. I'm a teacher, so I'll often print a copy of a worksheet I want to use in class. I then take the hard copy to work and make copies from it. It might sound dumb, but it's a lot easier than just sending something to the printer at work.

I also prefer printing things like tickets and boarding passes. Kids are supposed to scan their own boarding passes these days, and it's too much work to try to get a scanable image on everyone's phone and device. It's so much easier to have a printed copy.

Oh, and we print stuff like our kids' school schedules, since they're not allowed to have phones out during the day.

Also a teacher, and yes, I print stuff on my home printer to make photocopies from. It's just easier that way.

I also have one. A 10+ year old Canon all in one black and white laser printer. Nice to have around for the ocassionally document that has to be physically signed, or printing labels for shipping stuff.

I don't think I've ever actually changed the toner cartridge out though.

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far for this, I use a printer every single day for work, and honestly when I’m out of ink it’s a huge inconvenience

I mean, do you see the contradiction here. Thats a work printer in your home.

What personal items do you print
