That is a different product.
We were talking about office printers. No one prints a novel to read. Office printers are used to print things like meeting agendas, minutes, annual reports, contracts, things like that, which are not read passively like a novel but studied and marked with a pen.
The printing of these things is still increasing. See Merc's post.
Your "buggy whip" comments remind me of that (possibly mythical) quote that someone said to Henry Ford in about 1920, to stop messing about with gas engines because pretty soon everything will be electric. Maybe one day, but it's further off than you think.
