Why print, EVER? Seriously, we are SUPPOSED to be becoming a paperless society! It's not like we've ALWAYS had paper or something so it's an innate part of our existance. It was invented just like anything else we did, and can fade like anything else, if companies would STOP thinking they need to hand out paper all the time! Can't wait for some cheap book sized screens with scroll buttons to replace ALL paper myself. Whenever I say this someone usually tells me about missing the tactile feeling of turning pages. Screw that. It makes my skin dry out handling paper anyway.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
