You need a new job. LOL

I use a bit of both. I do a lot of work from home in which I print, so if I think of something personal at work that I need to print, I definitely do it because I have a laser printer at work….but it is by no means from “the man’s pocket” because we have to purchase our own toner cartridges.

i guess online banking could be considered as check writing since they actually mail a physical check to the payee

Print? You probably still write checks too don’t you?

Neither. I get extorted by kinkos because

1) most of the documents I print either have to be signed or only looked over. If its a look over why am I printing this out when I can just email you the document. If I need to sign something, instead of printing it out, signing it, and faxing/delivering it to whomever, there is technology available to handle that as well. Printing it out is a waste of technology and trees. Especially if the document is going to change after its viewed or its made irrelevant afterwards.

2) Chances are if I have a useful document to print that is going to only viewed and ripped to shreds but its vitally important that a group of people see it in person ( Note: one of the few valid excuses for a meeting ) then a home printer would be completely inadequate for my use. Hell, the printer at the job would give big stares. ”Why are you using poster sized paper Michael?”

3) I don’t want those nosey network admins at the job having a chance to “review” my documents after I’ve printed them. Depending on the job, the print server may or may not store and hold all print jobs on media that you don’t have permissions to delete from.
