>>Since a lot of peripherals now are wireless it really doesn't require anything being physically hooked to them as long as you address them and send something. Lots of printers working that way now printing pictures from phones etc. Bluetooth or Wifi kind of makes physical connection moot so now you are just down to handshake protocols.

Fair enough. I've noticed that Kinkos already offers a service where you can upload a document to be color printed and bound ready for collection/to be couriered within minutes. I'm told some people in NY don't bother with printers any more since the local print shop has nicer quality and can bind it professionally for little more than the cost of using your own inkjet.
