College students still need to print stuff, some more than others. Especially if you're like me and the only way you can retain information is to take handwritten notes, physically highlight, and write in the margins. I don't know why, but ebooks and PDFs just don't stick in my brain. There's a printer in my department, but not that convenient when you don't live on campus, and the library charges you like you're at a Kinkos.

I'm amazed that these printer companies feel they can pull this kind of shit though. You'd think they'd be doing everything they can to keep the 10 people who still need home printers and scanners.
