I have horrible handwriting, and always have. My printing isn’t much better unless I make a conscious effort.

Looking around at my desk at post-it notes and such, it appears that I mostly print these days.

Obviously I use cursive when I sign my name. I also use it in writing checks on the line where you write out the amount (not sure why I do it there), but like many others, I rarely write checks anymore.

I never write personal letters. It’s all email. Oh… I guess I do use cursive when I add a little note to a greeting card; “get well soon!” or “congratulations” or whatever.
