  Like for The Natural Philosopher, for me it's also largely true. Of
course I still *get* quite a lot of printed stuff, but *I* print very,
very little.

  Our printer is stored 'offline' in a cabinet, because it's hardly ever
needed, takes up too much space in the living room and isn't quite a
pretty sight.

  Last time I printed something was some two monhs ago and that's above
average use, i.e. normally longer intervals.

  Our HP LaserJet (Pro M1132 MFP) is nearly 11 years old and only
recently I replaced the half-capacity cartridge which came with the
printer. That should give you some idea how 'much' we print.

  And no, I don't take the printer with us when we go on holidays! :-)
