I love this article. I also wanted to add that if you DO happen to print something you didn’t mean to, consider recycling the paper. I live in an office complex that lets me add my misprints to their outbound recycling.

While I’d like to think some of these are common sense, others are not. We always print on scratch paper around the house, especially when we’re doing everyday print jobs. The tip to do the print preview and then print a test page is a good one to remember; I’ve had documents look alright in the print preview, but then the formatting doesn’t print correctly. Good tips for everybody to remember, and great ways to save a little money.

This is an excellent blog. I am going to forward it to my friends who work in offices. I have printed it and am putting it next to my printer. I do a lot of printing and I am always looking for ways to help the environment.

These are great tips that make sense, but I don’t always remember to use them! I have found that using scratch paper helps a lot, and recently discovered tip #21 by checking out the printer’s vendor site. I didn’t realize there were cartridges avaiable with more ink. Also, thanks to the poster who recommended trying Walgreen’s for ink refills. I’ll give that a try.

All of the suggestions are wonderful. I work in an office that definitely not green and it drives me crazy. I continually tell my colleagues to save paper, but their responses are always “how?” I tell them that they don’t have to print everything, but that’s not enough. The idea I like the best from the above list is the “Use scratch paper by default and print on new paper only when necessary” – I will definitely bring this up to those people in my office and let’s hope that my office joins the “green” train! Thanks for your ideas!
