I tried to check into a Ryanair flight online about 1hr55m before take off and was refused because it was less than 2hrs before takeoff but they were quite happy to print the thing for 100 euro at the airport. I feel they were more concerned with grabbing the money than avoiding using their printer.

If you can get everyone checked in as early as possible then you can do a lot of the preflight calculations earlier and be more likely to leave on time. I'm feeling like some Ryanair apologist, which I'm not, I just think that it's a bit reductive to go "boarding pass costs x when it is a piece of paper!". If you listen to LCCs talk about their operations you start realising these fees are not solely about money but efficiency via incentives. NB one thing I'd slate Ryanair for is only opening check in 24 hours before unless you have priority, that is extremely annoying and definitely designed to push you to priority.
