Patron: I need to print this document from my phone.
Martin: Impossible.
Patron: Can I email it to one of your computers?
Martin: Maybe.
Patron: I’m sure that will work!
Martin: I wish your confidence made the library’s technology work better.
Jody: Why didn’t you just help her?

Not sure I’d want Google Cloud Print turned on for a public printer, but that’s the sort of thing it’s for.
When there’s a storm-front on Google Cloud Print it rains dick pics.
When I was at university, I printed out the entire Principia Discordia on a crappy university printer. Apologies from past me for killing the planet one tree at a time. I wonder where Martin stands on the subject of ‘print your own books’. Slightly better than reading it on a computer, I guess.
The Principia Discordia is only like 50-60 pages. I went through a whole ream of paper each term when I was in school, printing out peer-reviewed journal articles, because I refuse to read them on a screen.
