Re: So why do people print stuff out still?

You find an answer to that, you let me know.

I just had to tell a school teaching department that they are using three times the printing of the next nearest department.

They were wondering why they don't have a budget. Because of covid, etc., the budget for the entire subject is now literally less than their printing budget on its own.

Bonus: It's not even Art or English or something that you might expect to do a lot of printing.

Modern 2020 school, with huge fees, complete remote operation for the last few months, and yet we're paying thousands upon thousands for printing, and churning through dozens of trees.

In one of my previous schools, there was one printer. That was it. Everything went to the one printer. And because you had to walk to the printer to pick things up, and large jobs tied up the printer, nobody ever used it or needed to use it.
