One GB of text takes 677.963 pages on average^1. This is probably a conservative estimate, given that RimWorld logs contain quite a lot of whitespace.

You'll need 73.897.967 sheets of paper, assuming double sided printing. That's 147.796 reams of paper, or 29.560 boxes of 5 reams. At $24,99 per box^2 (currently on discount!), you'll pay about $738.704 and 40 cents. The good news is that you'll have 4 reams of paper leftover, which should last you a good while if you stop printing output logs.

Each box weighs about 25,2 pounds^2 (or 11,43 kg in units that make sense). That comes down to 337,9 metric tonnes of paper, or 10 semi-trucks loaded to the US maximum weight limit^3. You'd have to contact Amazon to see whether this qualifies for free Prime delivery.

Sadly, I don't have the time to calculate what you'll spend on ink (or toner, and the replacement printers you'll need), but you can probably add another cool half a million.
