Is paper obsolete?

No offense to Gutenberg, but printing sucks. I've had 7 printers in the past 7 years of my life. And that is only because for the past 4 I've refused to buy a new one. Do I just have like the compendium of malfunctioning printer purchases in my town, do I alone make this problem statistically significant? Am I an anomaly? Maybe my roommates and I are not representative of the entire population, but I find it very suspicious that only 1 of our 4 printers still manages to actually print stuff, and that is only if you crouch down and feed it the paper sheet by sheet. Like you would a sick pet. So I don't understand. Has printing technology fallen short of the rate of technological evolution everything else seems to have experienced, or did I just win the defective printer lottery? Cause it has been more times than I can count (and thinking about it is making me grouchy already) that I've had to wake up at the crack of dawn to begin a pilgrimage to the library (not after cursing and yelling at my own printer and throwing fistfuls of crumpled paper at my roommate's) to wait in line behind 20 equally irresponsible Northwestern students as they finish their last minute printing. So I cant be the only one with this conundrum. Right? If so, I would really like to know cause maybe I have crazy extremist luck and could reverse apply this vacuum to Who Wants to be a Millionaire. And yes, I'd had this idea before Slumdog even hit theaters thanks.
