It's prohibitively expensive and adds significant complications for the manufacturer, who has to maintain revision information per-page. The solution of offering a downloadable PDF of the manual is simpler for the manufacturer and solves the problem for the relatively small number of people who care about having the very latest software rev and manual. If I was in charge I would provide an electronic manual supplemented by a thorough quick-reference booklet like the ones from www.niftyaccessories.com. Users could print the manual if they wanted, but otherwise I wouldn't have killed as many trees, Al Gore would be happy, and we'd save $10/unit sold over distributing a seldom-read manual.
