But the office definitely does.

Since when have students been disallowed from using printers? Fetching the items was off limits, because kids suck and printers are 10k, but we had no issue printing.

Commercial printers are 10k??? I always figured they were like maybe 2k. I should have picked up that full sized copier I saw at goodwill for $25

And that's on the low end. I worked at print place a while back and our color machine was worth like 30k. We leased all of our equipment and had a maintenance deal tho because they're also expensive AF to run. Toner bottles got swapped out every couple weeks and those alone were a couple hundred.
