No, it is not required ever again.  You only have to initialize it.  Here at
MMA, we don't have Laser Prep on the disks because of space limitations.

One problem we run into constantly, however, is making certain that our
watchperson has a disk with Laser Prep.  Occasionally, we'll have midshipmen
who turn off the printer, the power will go out, or someone will use a
newer/older Laser driver and it will need to be re-prepped for all the others.

As long as you have a person around with the Prep for these dire emergencies,
you could take it off all user disks.
