My point is that these business are a lot larger than people realize, and that the phase out is going to be a lot slower than people think because it's primarily enterprise recurring contracts that are powering their sales.
That said, I use the printer at my office maybe 1x/week, so I agree that it's not long-term sustainable. This is why consolidation is a good bet for short-term viability and the deal is a good one for Staples for right now.
