    In less developed countries, you’d need printed copies for a lot of stuff, especially legal documents.

    Speaking from experience.

      Exactly this. I live in a first-ish world country around Asia, and the moment you need paperwork dealt in any other nearby country, a printer is going to save you lots of trips to the convenience store.

      Oh, I remember those. The government here has been working to go digital for the past 30 years, and now it’s beginning to pay off.

        Good for you! My country is going toward that direction, but corruption kinda keeps the progress slow. Still some progress here and there.
