Privacy is also an issue. There might be reasons why you don't want to have something printed out at the library/local print shop, like if it's tax documents, and someone hitting "repeat job" could just have it spit out personal info.
Oh yeah that's a fantastic point I'd failed to even consider. I don't really care if my credit card bills end up cached somewhere at the library, like, what are they going to do with it? Pay it?
If I on the other hand dealt with personal identifiable data, that could be hugely problematic. I can see the need for e.g. a lawyer having to print case files and assemble documents physically. In such a scenario, printing it at a library, or at a third party company might not be a great idea.
If you for some reaosn also want your nudes (or I suppose, erotic artwork) in print, I can see how you might not want to have that done by a company. I don't think I'd personally care, but maybe the person dealing with it at the company shouldn't have to see that sort of thing.
