This does not match my experience.  Printing things at university for
free (up to a quota) is very popular with students.  Many prefer
reading on paper or making notes.  Paper is like a cheap extra screen.

Nonetheless, instead of making hplip a default, I would prefer having
a video on how to install and configure printing services among top
Web search results.  This sounds like much work, but I’m not sure how
much work it really is.  Installing services is really easy on Guix.

Florian
