A company called Greenprint has created a piece of software that makes it possible to save on the amount of wasted prints. What it does is

• List those pages that the software finds wasteful (such as a single line of text on a whole page)
• Gives the user the option of specifying whatever text or images (such as banner adds, to save on toner) should be printed
• Can save the modified page as a PDF, so that it can be sent or printed on another computer

The software comes in 3 versions,

1. A free non-commercial version
2. Home-premium (commercial purposes ok) version
3. Enterprise

So, if you print much, and don't like wrangling with print ranges each time you need to print something, then the free version seems like a worthwhile install.

You can find a tutorial for the software here.

Unfortunately, it does not come for either Linux or Mac.

Sounds great, I'll have to check it out. Thanks Mikkel
