literally so you can leave it unplugged in a box, and drag it out once a year to print a tax form or something. Toner should be shelf stable.

    I have a 70+ year old friend that paper files. She doesn't trust the free file places available here (USA). I don't blame her.

    Ysk - You can order the forms for free on the IRS (& state) websites.

    I print things for her on my 1999 laser jet if she needs something printed.

    Many years I paper filed just to inconvenience them slightly for not offering free file.

    I am British, most people don't need to even think about taxes here as its all automatic. Only really something you might need to look at if you are self employed or its your job to deal with it.

    No, printed just to keep a hard copy

    Same as keeping a soft copy.

    Tax was just as example. Maybe there's a form somebody wants signed with a pen instead of electronic, I don't know.

    Anyway if you are going to get a printer, but only do a handful at any time avoid buying an inkjet
