Owning a printer just isn’t worth it for most people. If you only need to print something every few weeks (or months), it doesn’t make sense to buy a single purpose machine for the job. If you calculate the average cost of a printer over the 2-4 years of ownership, it comes out to around 10 to 50 cents per page (assuming 1,000 and 200 pages printed, respectively), and that doesn’t even include ink or the energy the printer consumes while idle.
But wait, there is already Google Cloud Print right? Printing from a Fedex Kinkos costs 10 cents per page just for black and white (50 cents for color). Those prices are on par with the using your own printer, so they don’t make much sense either.
