That's only about 180,000km (~112,000 miles) or just under half way to the moon.

Also some quick googling says an average desktop printer can print about 30,000 pages per month, so it would take 20,000 months (~1670 years) to print that out. And a typical toner cartridge can print 3,000 pages and costs $80, so it would take 200,000 toner cartridges and cost $16 million.

Now, those aren't based on any specific model, just the first result in Google haha
