It seems to be broadly agreed that most users never even look at manuals. It would be great if HP could make printed manuals available, possibly through a third-party printing service if it is not feasible for them to do it in-house.

Trees are a renewable resource, so I am unconcerned about the environmental impact. I am actually pleased that "most people" don't like printed manuals because it makes me more unique among men in that I do like and do read them. Ah, the good old days of 700 page manuals that USED TO BE included with electronic devices! Those were the days! But I also embrace today's tech too. If I need to look up something fast, I'll do a search through the PDF version. But if I want to sit down for an hour and read page after page of a manual, I want print on paper.

But I will agree with you that HP could and should make all manuals available for on-demand printing, shipped anywhere in the world, for a somewhat reasonable price. They should be of high print quality, color covers, and spiral bound.

Couldn't agree more.
