The problem is if you don't print a lot, the cartridges dry out, and the ink clogs in the printer and whatever else, leading to a big pain.
A month later, IT was tasked with re-replacing them for everyone but marketing overnight. Literally overnight, as in, we're paying overtime for this. The boss didn't know what was happening until a week later, but it was a fire drill of an intensity that you usually don't see outside of a full outage.
It turned out that, while the Phasers do generate gorgeous hardcopy, the wax-like prints, can, with some effort, some skill, and a sharp knife, be popped off the page. A customer figured this out and had been effectively stealing service by way of paying invoices with numbers quite literally pulled off the page. The old Laserjets were placed back into service everywhere but the marketing group.
Libraries are literally everywhere in the US, they're more common than McDonalds.
Laser printers can sit idle much longer but they're bulky and sometimes energy hogs.
I've always seen it at every library I've been at (both school and public), but I suppose it might be more of a regional thing.
On top of those, a few months ago I found a PrintWithMe [0] station at a corner store that's only a 5 minute walk away.
