I know it's not necessarily an option for everyone, but the printer at the library always works and costs way less or is free.

Or a copycenter.

Printing shops have existed as long as there have been printers. People rarely need to print anything anyway but most will convince themselves against it because they think it's a hassle or that they will print a lot more than they actually do.

Many people I know end up replacing their ink cartridges almost every time they have to print because it's been so long that the ink has dried up...
