    I don’t print a lot (average 1 page a day), so having the printer actively “awake” and consuming electricity all the time is pretty wasteful. So that wouldn’t move it into the category of “not evil” for me.

      That makes sense. Too bad the sleep mode isn’t working well for you :(

        To me it’s just part and parcel of owning a printer. They’re awful devices, but one I unfortunately need to use on occasions.

        That said, the university printers aren’t bad. I’ve only threatened to throw them out of the window once. 😀
