Age influences printer use, although varies by country

Using a printer has a positive association with age; printer usage skews older across many countries, especially in the US and UK. One of the major factors is habit energy, as people with long experience continue to use their technology products and services in similar ways as they did in prior years. Younger adults who have grown up with mobile technology are accustomed to accessing documents and information with a device at hand, unlike the experience of older adults who have long relied on the printed word.
