    BRB.

    sudo apt purge cups

    Done. This should not even be part of baseline Ubuntu desktop. Speaking for myself but I have not had a printer for about 15 years. The paperless office really did become reality.

      About 25 years for me.

      For most people it’s a better option to use a local print shop for the odd times that they need something printed.

      More options for printing too.

        I don’t know if I would like to have my personal data that I needed to print out on any system in a print shop. Printers and Copy machines in print shops often have internal HDD where the files are stored for caching reasons, often for months or even years (depending of the size of the HDD and how much the device is used) until some internal cleanup process deletes them.
