Carry it, why would you want to carry it? Mine is on my network and I
just print to it from any device, providing the device is somewhere
on my property in range of wifi.

In our case because it needs to be moved in order to access the boiler.

I am given to understand other users have other reasons - including
that they are not sluts and like to dust behind and even /underneath/
their printers.




My DW decided many many years ago that she would move her electric
typewriter from one side of the office to the other. She managed to get
it most of the way before running out of strength and dropping it. Her
boss was really surprisingly nice about it.



One of the secretaries where I worked complained about the weight of the
IBM Selectrics when they first arrived. Procurement's advice was a
classic combination of accuracy and stupidity - on the lines of "it
weighs less if you remove the golfball, ribbon and correction tape."
