In terms of printers, I haven't owned one for around 5 years, and if I did need to print the odd thing off I would just do it at work.
But since I've been working from home since last March, and since the Post Office near me and the local delivery office near me have been a pain to use during the pandemic, we ended up getting a printer mainly just so we could use the Royal Mail's online postage service which meant we were able to pay for postage online, print out the details, stick it to the package and then drop the package in the parcel mail box near the flat. Sounds like a very niche use cache - but more than proved its worth at Xmas!
I'm also on the HP x pages per month thing mentioned earlier in the thread, but as I use it so little I am actually on the free plan. I think it is just something like 15 pages per month, but as long as I don't go over that (which I really don't see me doing) then I don't have to pay for ink refills which is nice!
