I find that printing, like mobile office work, is pretty much a state of mind as well as a set of hardware. 
If you have a printer you expect it to work. When it doesn’t work it’s annoying. So it’s not the actual printing that’s annoying, its the failure of the expectation.  If you expect the printer not to work then its not annoying.
I gave up on my printer some time ago and put anything I need a hard copy of into a file on my desktop. When I actually need (rather than just want) a hard copy I put the file onto a USB stick, wander down to the library and pay 25p a sheet.  It’s quite possibly more time consuming and I doubt if it is any cheaper, but it is so much more relaxing.
