Save a tree with Greenprint
How often do you try to print a website only to find that it prints a couple of extra pages with nothing but URLs and banner ads? Greenprint is a commercial utility that analyzes your print jobs and strips away pages that are essentially blank, saving you paper.At $35, it could take a while for a home user to save enough paper for the program to pay for itself. But there's an enterprise version available for $70 that provides a few extra features, like the number of trees saved and CO2 emissions saved. The software's 50% off for educational institutions and environmental non-profits.
Greenprint also includes an option letting you print a document to PDF. If you don't really need a hard copy of a document, this is a great way to save paper. Of course, there are plenty of free PDF printers available as well.

Err. What's wrong with the print preview command, then selecting which pages to use? Cheaper than $35.

I'd like to remind you of a similar software. It is called FinePrint.

Do I have to remind the WHOLE WORLD that we grow trees to make paper in the same way that we grow potatos to make chips.
So by using (unrecycled) paper you are ordering new trees to be planted.
