I've found my need for printing has decreased dramatically over
the years.  With 4k monitors and the Retina display on my iPad,
I can read papers, data sheets, and technical specifications
online; that these are search-able is also very helpful.  LiquidText
on my iPad is an amazing tool.

Even for signing documents, I can mostly do that annotating PDFs.
With text boxes and fill-ins, it's much easier and neater than
printing and scribbling all over the things.

YMMV, of course.
