I don’t have a printer at home, and I’ve been just fine. Nowadays you don’t even need to print tickets, so who cares about a printer any more. You get them in your email, and all you need to do is show the QR code off your phone when you show up at the event, enter the theater, board the plane or whatever.
I'm the same way, which then puts me in a tizzy when I actually do need a printer: For instance, needing to print a notice to other apartment residents near me (eg, "Do not move this item, it is a trap for rodents!"), or needing to print shipping labels to send in an item for return/repair.
I guess I would just print that paper at work or make a handwritten note instead.
Oh, I totally forgot about the kiosk. It prints you those barcode stickers, boarding passes and whatnot.
