Yup, thats right. I don’t own a printer. It cost so much to own a printer in my opinion.
Actually, a printer itself is not that expensive. You can get a really nice printers these days for cheep. It’s just the outrageous cost of printer ink that keeps me from owning one.
I don’t have things I need printed everyday. From time to time I do have documents I need to printed. Sometimes I even want to print photos off for myself or friends and family. It’s not all that often. Maybe once, maybe twice a month I have something I want to print.
When I have something I need printed I will take it to a local print shop. I can print documents and photos for pennies compared tot he cost of buying a printer and ink, and hopping I use it often enough that the ink does not dry up before it’s empty. It’s just not worth the hassle or cost.

Is the local print shop on the way home from work? There’s a FedEx/Kinkos on the way home from the office, so extra gas isn’t such a hassle, but the amount of time to find parking etc would make it a pain in the rear compared to printing at home.
I went for a year and a half without a printer and I finally broke down and bought one, along with an extra ink cartridge for $60 extra dollars. I still haven’t made it through the sample ink cartridge and the extra ink cartridge is collecting dust.
