I want to do it suprisingly often.
* When running/cycling somewhere unfamiliar: My phone will be safe in my backpack. In my hands I want a map I can stuff in a pocket, not worry if it gets wet or rained on, that I can hold while gripping the handlebars, that I can use while wearing gloves, and write other notes on, etc. I could print in color on my inkjet printer, but the ink runs in the rain. A printout from my mono laser won't run, but Google Maps isn't legible then either.
* On occasions when you don't want to bring a phone: What actually prompted my original comment was yesterday I had a government language exam, in an unfamiliar location on the outskirts of town, with strict instructions that no phones or other personal possessions were allowed in... I wasn't sure what kind of lockers they would have, or whether they would need padlocks or coins (neither of which I had) or whatever. So I thought about printing out a map and leaving my phone at home. The weather forecast was for rain, and I planned on cycling, hence it made sense to laser-print rather than use my inkjet.
