I think we're very much in the minority *not* printing from tablets and 
phones, Lennart. My teenage niece and nephew only grudgingly use 
Chromebooks for "boring school stuff"; everything else is tablets and 
phones. Most of the accessibility clients my employer works with need 
access tools for tablets and game consoles much more frequently than 
computers.

Only the really cheap (< $50) printers are USB only. Tethering a printer 
via USB means you actually have to have a device with a USB port. By 
plugging it in via USB, you also tend to lose the built-in printer 
server that's built into most wireless printers. No additional cables, 
and everyone on the network can see it and print automatically.

What a brave and strange future we find ourselves living in ...

cheers, and stay safe
