I agree with that but not the saving paper bit. The photocopier and the

But who had time to wait for all those 20 copies to print?

You're joking right? You've never turned up to a printer only to find that the previous several people have yet to collect their prints and you have to find out where yours end and theirs starts in the hopper?
