At Uncubed we started with the lots of options idea and have been boiling it down to the basic use cases we see. It's 2-3 days a week. 5 days, and Full time perm desk. We have a corporate plan but that's negotiated based on need a lot of the time.
We do the exact same thing Craig does RE: printing. It's no charge, but if you print War and Peace we'll bust your knee caps :) Most of our members haven't ever printed a single thing. the rest print a few pages a month typically.
