Most OSR games have an implied assumption that they're post-apocalyptic. Chris Kutalik and some others wrote about this in a past age:

And some notes on greyhawk in particular, with its frighteningly-low population density:

This is actually a heavy spoiler plot point for my favorite piece of fiction so I won't actually say what it is because it's better served going in blind.

A duplex b/w laser printer, banker's box of copy paper from costco or something, and either a long arm stapler (for things with big enough text to be printed zine-style) or heavyweight 3-hole punch+binder may be a better use of your money if you're continually needing things in hard copy. Picrel is some I did long ago for easier reading, when I had no smartphone, tablet or e-reader.

You can also print out single-pages, or collages of screencaps from different pages, to add to your notes.
