Who uses a printing calculator these days?
Accountants. Damn near all of them.

Odd, I figured they all had spreadsheets for that stuff, must be they need
a paper record of their calcs and those printing calc rolls are easy to
stuff into record folders?
Back in college some of the MBA types had financial calculators to figure
out interest and how much to overcharge people. These days kids seem to be
required to have graphing calculators in grade school, I guess that is
because they can barely print their own names let alone draw on paper.
