If you are doing large-scale packing lists, invoices or inventory, friction feed printers will wear out in days (I imagine) and you will have to hire somebody to do nothing but mess around with loading paper, taking care of jams and moving the paper off the printer.  If that worker slips the pages may well be irretrievably out of order.  Tractor-fed, 5000-sheet boxes of paper makes more sense, either green-bar or white paper is available.  
Much cheaper to run than laser or inkjet.
I don't know anybody running these at home, though
