Are printers not a thing any longer?

I read an article recently that many households do not have a working printer any longer.

For years I assumed that many clients had a printer or multifunction to print, scan and fax. Seems now if they have one it is not plugged in or has no ink.

I recently destroyed my desktop computer after it sitting in the corner of my office for two years since our move. My Surface Pro replaced it years ago. My cell has almost replaced the Surface. My next tablet probably will.

Seems that a new agent could get along pretty well with a Cell, Headset, and a Legal pad.

Interesting and I agree less and less folks have them.

I still have one, but rarely use it for work. E Signature has changed much of the value. But everyone once in a while it saves the day.

On the personal side, I find it indispensable.

Same.
Periodically one of my kids will come over to print something.

I may print an annual report or a copy of an illustration to write notes on during a review.

A year ago my printer went out in the middle of printing something I needed to overnight. I shoot to Best Buy. Just a few choices.

That's the problem - you went to a consumer electronics store for a business machine. lol.

I still use my brother laser printer, but much less these days. Glad I have it.
 
Ive used the same b&w Brother laser printer for over a decade now. Still going strong. Used very rarely. Occasional shipping labels. Occasional school projects.

I occasionally needed hand outs for certain clients and situations. Fedex and UPS do a great job with color prints.

I now have access to a really nice color laser printer for free. I still rarely print stuff. But when I do, it is usually color for a f2f presentation.
 
I must be stuck in the 90's, my main work computer is a desktop with two monitors and a Brother MFC-L2750DW for a printer/scan/fax

I use the printer somewhat regularly as I do many of my appts face-to-face and prefer paper applications.

I have a tablet, but its mainly for leisure use, but my phone I use in the field regularly
