My D has never had a printer (going to be a junior in the fall) and although her roommate had a printer last year that she could use, she never did. They get 1000 pages B&W free (.25/page for color),with the ability to request more if they ever get close to the limit–which she never has. They can print from any of the library printers or any computer lab printers–probably about a dozen or so printers campus-wide–and some of them (in the Science Center, and maybe others) are available 24/7. Given the cost of toner, the space that a printer takes up in small dorm rooms and the ease of printing from the campus printers, she gives a definite “No!” to having a personal printer.
