And I will, but theres always last minute opportunities. And in some cases, the coupons could be worth $10, 15, or even $45 dollars for 'buy one, get one' offers. It's a lot easier to print them from a hotel room then go over to the venue and hope they have them when you need them.

I might even buy some gift certificates from restaurant.com.

Plus itineraries, boarding passes, maps, etc. I just don't feel like having to spend $8 to rent a computer for 15 minutes every time I need a hard copy. There is a concierge, but they don't have 'everything'.

It's not like I'm disposing of the printer afterwards. It will be good to have a Linux printer for the laptop at home.
