I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    So this may be a dumb question but let’s take work stuff out of the equation. What are people doing in their personal lives that warrants the need to buy a personal printer for the home? Basically everything is digital…and if I need to print something which is very very rarely, I just do it at work and in one instance I went to the library. I don’t see any reason for me to buy a printer.

      Mostly for amazon return labels. I bought a used brother laser printer with an extra cartigdge for like $50, at the time it was a cost I could justify.

      I play D&D and print all my character sheets, and make spell cards. Also I print photos that I have taken, to decorate my house or if a friend wants one.

      Paper maps of places I hike (multiple pages and copies for friends)

      I have also made custom cards (birthdays and the like) in the past.

      I bought a good inkjet printer because I like taking photos and printing them in physical form, so I can hang them in the house or give them as gifts.
