Cargo bikes need to become more common. It would have easily carried a laser printer ... and a second laser printer ... and your groceries for the week ... and a kitchen appliance.
Edit: Here are the examples from the Not Just Bikes video on cargo bikes:

Even a rear or front cargo rack or basket that's big enough should be able to carry most items.
Here's a large rear cargo rack that should work:

What exactly made the theoretical bike not an option instead of the theoretical car?
Jesus Christ. Take the bus home. Get the bike. Ride the bike to where the printer is. Put the printer on the bike, and ride home.
Hench why they said they should become more common.
There's a few pilot projects for cargobike shares popping up in my city, and I hope they become more prolific to allow everyone easy access without having to own.
There's also the option of renting a car that single time.
Or just paying for delivery.
Because you were wishing for a car but ruled out a bike as an option? 🤪
Good grief...
