Having attempted to get by for 3 months without a printer, I think I’ve finally thrown in the towel. It’s hard to go fully paperless.
So much easier to check through documents physically, read drawings etc.
Gonna get a laser jet A3 for next to my computer I think.
Nah. What you need is a fifth monitor. A 76" one. Make sure to show us a photo of it propped up on your kids' toybox next to your garden chair and the coffee table you use as a desk. So much easier to check through documents physically, read drawings etc.

I hate printers. They're the one item of IT kit that always seems to go wrong without any reason behind it, and one I always fail to fix. Last time ours failed, I told my wife we're not having another and, massively unusually, she's gone along with it.So much easier to check through documents physically, read drawings etc.

Obviously, since working from home we haven't the safety net of having one to lean-on at work, but I think we're OK now. We just expect not to have one, and use a phone if it's important to carry info around with us.

The only time I used a large screen TV for computing (42 inch iirc) it made me feel sick. No idea why, larger blurrier pixels perhaps? I don't know if more modern ones are better in this regard, but I'll stick to monitors from now on.
Many TVs don't support 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. Some that do support it, still only support it on a single HDMI input, and often only when configured at 30Hz. Without 4:4:4, the edges of text have a haze around them which gives me a headache. This isn't relevant if you're using the TV for watching media or playing games, but it's crucial for normal office type work.A good video on chroma subsampling www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JYZDnenaGc

So... all the visuals of food I have to produce, menus etc now have to be printed via VPN to a location 8 miles away from home.
Go IT, YAY!
Mrs21 the same, except she has to physically sign documents every day which she cannot print at home... oh well, if you supply public sector don't expect your invoices paid more than once a month!

Well... having just been given a new work laptop, I no longer have admin rights so I cannot print locally and have been told I cannot due to GDPR!
you may find you can print to a printer shared from another PC.... Depends how thorough IT are.For Mrs21 her prints are "watermarked" as authenticated at source and double signed.
Got to love public sector... guess thats where your taxes go.
