Got it in one. These are in fire stations, where they need to print out about a page of text, a few times a day. In some rural retained or volunteer stations they might only print something out a few times a month! Inkjet nozzles would have clogged, laser printers would either burn out the fuser or take several minutes to warm up. Inkjet printers will go <SCREEET SCREEEET SCREEET> for 30 seconds, and there's the job, printed out in triplicate. As an added bonus if the ribbon has dried out you can just discard the top copy and work off one of the duplicates.
