Yes. Printing is amazing and essential.

I print the end of term maths exams. And handouts we want to discuss and annotate with comments.

Paper is an unbeatable technological medium for some things.

Problems arise when dismissive techno-neophile administrators fail to maintain the printers. So I keep some spare toner aside for an invincible 2005 Canon desktop laser hidden in a lab.

All hail the Invincible Laser, burner of maths, bane of admins!
