Hello Jean -

I think that's approximately a small box of paper? 

I used to print quite a bit but haven't printed more than
100-200 sheets in the past decade (not counting at work where
it's been required). 

I have at least a half-dozen dot matrix printers, even one 132
column (very noisy) heavy duty model that can print 24/7
without overheating. I also have the old HP laser printer that
uses the powder (dry copies) instead of liquid ink. The HP cost
close to $1000 US new and it seems a shame that it just sits
and does nothing but I keep everything on magnetic media now. 

I have old source code printouts that have yellowed they are so
old that the ink is fading and difficult to read. The same text
file on magnetic media comes up onscreen clear and crisp (and
any colors I choose). :-) 

I see other people print out many pages including pictures and
then see all the paper in the trash soon afterwards. Many
almost blank pages because they didn't bother to set the number
of pages to print as "1". They seem to like to carry these
around in their hand for awhile before throwing it away? I
stopped doing that years ago.
