Are personal printers really still a thing? I can count on 1 finger how many times I needed to print something in the past few years and FedEx Kinkos is perfect for that. I'd rather pay like $5 rather than have some bulky ugly thing taking up space on my desk.

My Brother laser printer sits in a corner unobtrusively (not on my desk). I don’t print enough these days to warrant the convenience it but the toner lasts forever and not needing to make a trip to print is really nice. I’m sure there are people who use inkjets for printing photographs or have lots of paper copies they need to make for whatever reason. Statistically, ~45% of Americans own a printer [1].

Be careful when you extrapolate your own personal habits onto broader market trends.

HP by itself still brings in $18B per year in printer revenue [2].
