Do you guys here print out source codes?
If so, all or partial?

I have. And partial. So that I may ponder the code while riding on the bus.

Thanks Silicone to answer my probing question.
I have to admit that's the answer I was waiting for.
I've been wondering whether I should use printer at home or not.
By the way do you commute by bus instead of train or car?
Cool!

I think I've only ever printed code for courses at school. I'm never really away from the PC in such a way that I have spare time to research code. And if I'm sitting at a PC I'd rather just toggle between monitors, tabs, or applications than have a static, unsearchable copy in my hand.
Reading a tutorial/article/book on the bus/train would certainly be a cool idea though. (We just don't use such means of transport where I live.)

Like bit, I don't print out code. I would rather have a file that I can search on hand. I don't mess with code when I'm not in front of my pc, so a printed copy of a finished product as a hard backup would be the only reason.

I sometimes print code, so I can read it away from the computer, on the couch or something. It's like it's easier to focus when it's just me and a piece of paper, no noisy fans or distractions. It also allows you to see more of the code at the same time. A few months back I debugged a sorting routine with paper and a pen. But it's not something I do every day.

I do print out code, so when I'm bored in classes I can spend my unfocused time being productive and looking through something.

Yea, there's something to be said for going "back to basics" with a pen and paper. After being out a school for a few years (and not having to do much handwriting in college), I do almost nothing using pen and paper. Recently I started work on a website project and it was actually really satisfying to just scribble out my ideas on paper and focus more on the ideas than coordinating the technology to visualize them.
