- owlninja 1y agoWhat do you mean exactly? They just print some documents they need and get them mailed to themselves?
- bahrtw 1y agoYes! So my assumption is people don’t have printers anymore and want a easy way to print if they have or want to. They just add files like a .pdf and let them send to their homes. So they have real physical prints..
- cryptoz 1y agoThis reminds of Google Paper in 2007: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_April_Fools%27_Day_jokes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_April_Fools%27_... I know at least 2 people who were fooled by it haha.
- bahrtw 1y agoHaha, that’s a good one! I promise it’s real – otherwise, it would be a very late April Fool’s joke!

- unsnap_biceps 1y agoCopies of all the documents I need to give to my accountant to assemble my taxes. Likely around 100 pages or so.
- bahrtw 1y agoSo you bring them to your accountant and he scans them? You do around 100 pages every quarter? May I ask where you are living that he needs hardcopy?
- unsnap_biceps 1y agoNo, I scan them and print the copies. My accountant is paper only and it's a yearly thing, not a quarterly thing. I live in the boonies.

- bahrtw 1y agoThat sounds interesting and superfast! Would be cool to use that! "The need was very selfish - we all felt that sporadic printing should not be a burden that occupies permanent space in our lives only to fail us when we really need it. Our existing distribution network also enabled us to deliver high-quality printouts to our customers at their doorsteps in minutes."
