This is a crap article with crap reasons for not having a printer.

Also since you DO need a reliable printer, get a Brother inkjet. Works on Linux, allows 3rd party printer cartridges, seamless WiFi even for phones, just keeps on ticking.

My Canon laser printer has given me zero problems. Linux Mint literally just found it, no messing around with configurations and such.

"systems like E-Verify and Docusign let us complete important forms digitally."

Uh no. I've had important government forms that just needed a signature. Either I could go into the government office to sign it or print the form, sign it, and scan it. Naturally I chose the second option!

I find so many of these kind of articles assume everybody is a middle to upper middle class office worker in a major city who only interacts with the same sort of people, who only does business with companies that have the latest everything, and has the money to continually update to the latest digital technology. A very hemmed-in perspective.
