The document discusses the evolution of printers from their origins with Gutenberg to modern capabilities. Printers started as a way to output paper copies from computers and now can print in color, scan documents back into digital files, and use recyclable ink cartridges. The future may include printers that can scan and edit hard copies as well as handheld portable printers. Printers remain important for producing hard copies of work and allowing people to access files without their computer.
