You might think it unusual for a printer company to talk about a paperless office? That would not be self-serving enough, you would say.

After all, hp is in the business of selling printers and having pages printed. At the same time, I believe too much of a good thing is a bad thing as the story goes. So I liked the PC Magazine article on "Three Steps to the Paperless office?". In it were some good tips on how to print less.

In addition, I found this HP link on easy ways to save money printing, which, along with HP's Print Preview software has some great cost saving printing tips.

The challenge of printing less is complex. Although there are many applications and areas where people are printing less, there is such a proliferation of information (enabled by the digital transformation of information on the web) that even if people print fewer pages per content topic, there is just a lot more content areas to print out. Ever try to read a book or article online?
