Note: I've no idea why the uploader decided to rotate the image, when I've tried rotating the original image in a way that'd fix it only to see that it didn't matter

All of you who say you never print anything must not have kids. We have to print stuff for my daughter's school fairly regularly. Even now that assignments are generally turned in on her Chromebook.
Nah, we're not saying we never print anything. School & work are the main reasons you'll need a printer. However, the thing is nobody needs to print consistently. Even on a whole family of seven I've lived in, I doubt we printed more than 5 or 10 papers per month, and that was maximum. Not to mention we live in a place where it takes 30-45 minutes to go to a school (and libraries? They don't exist lmao) and print shops are expensive.
The fact of the matter is the usefulness of a printer is is mainly due to being able to keep it around to print on demand for essentially free (how many times have you used up all the ink in the cartridge, really?) Nobody can ever predict whenever they need to print, it just happens. The second you attach it to an overpriced subscription service where the public will absolutely not use all of their "monthly papers" is when they all leave your brand like birds in the winter, and especially if they live somewhere more fortunate than we do, just go to your local school or library.
Oh I'm not justifying the subscription bullshit. There are just multiple people in this thread who are suggesting there's no reason to own a printer.
What grades does this start? I've got to prepare for it. Is it an ad hoc requirement, or is it known partially in advance can I run some test papers as work every once in a while to cover printing needs?
How are parents without printers doing it? Local library?
We've been printing stuff since first grade, although admittedly she didn't get a Chromebook until fifth grade and printing has been less.
That said, I'm sure they have accommodations for parents who don't have printers. It's probably the school themselves or the teacher (more likely since it's probably on their dime) wanting to save ink.
Also, it isn't 100% necessary for this reason, but it's really helpful to have a printer when doing posterboard projects for things like labels.
Appreciate your insights.
