**First - a question based on this topic: Does anyone know how to print a single page of an email in Outlook 2007? It seems like such a waste to print 6 pages of an email when I get a
response to the 5-page email I've already printed - I only need to
print out the most recent response. I was able to do it in Outlook 2003, but can't for the life of me figure out how to do it in Outlook 2007. I consider myself to be relatively computer savvy, and with a little research I can usually find an answer on my own, but I've searched online and on Microsoft's webpage with no luck. There is no option to choose to print current page or to enter which page you want to print in the print dialog box or properties. I'm printing to an HP Laserjet 4250. Any suggestions?**

Evildave - you may be able to do a little research online and find a way to reset your color color cartridge sensor to get around the issue. I don't know what model you have, so I can't offer any specific suggestions, but I've been able to tweak my printers in the past. You may also be able to find a way to adjust the self-cleaning schedule as well. Laser printers are great - they're fast, give very clean printouts and the ink doesn't bleed if it gets wet, but toner is VERY expensive and if you want to have the option to print in color, forget sending your first born child to college Most models require you to replace the entire cartridge if one color runs out, which can add to the expense.

Now, my comments on the article and suggestions for conserving resources:

While I think this article offers some valid solutions for occasionally
conserving paper and ink in certain situations, I have to say that for
me, printing two pages to a sheet simply isn't very practical for
everyday use, especially after sitting in front of a computer all day.
You might save on ink and paper, but your eyes probably won't be very happy
with you

Some simple suggestions for conserving ink and paper (and saving money!):

• To review a document, just read it on your screen. You can view

• Obviously, in a business environment, we often have no choice but to print emails and other documentation for our files. If this is the case, as others have suggested, set your printer to print grayscale and draft/fast print. The difference in print quality is practically non-existant, and you can always change the settings manually on the rare occasions where you need a color or a high-quality printout. If what you're printing isn't text-intensive, this is a good time to do the two per page printing as suggested in the above blog.

• To save paper, print on the front and back whenever possible, especially if you're just printing for future reference or printing something like an equipment manual (also suitable for two per page printing).

• As others have suggested, print on the back of previously printed pages (we all print things that end up with one or two lines on the second page) have printed whenever possible - especially if you're just printing to review layout, or printing a webpage for reference. We charge our kids for every non-school related page that is printed (just like the library - 10 cents each for b/w, 15 cents for color) and it comes directly out of their allowance, or they can work it off doing extra chores. They learn really quickly to be more selective about what they print

• If you want to print a certain section of a webpage or document but not the whole thing, highlight that portion, click print, and choose 'selection'. If the webpage won't let you highlight a certain portion, click 'Edit' then 'Select All' and paste into a Word document. Once there, you can highlight the specific section you want and print that selection only. If you're doing a lot of research for small snippets of information, you can always cut and paste into a word document (include the link if you think you'll need it in the future)

• If you're printing Powerpoint handouts for meeting participants, consider putting 3 (or more) slides on a sheet - 3 slides per sheet still gives participants space to make notes, and since most slides contain key points and are not text-intensive, they should still be easy to read. If you have any text-intensive pages, you can always include a full-page copy along with the others.

• If you're sharing a document with someone, or asking them to review it, email it to them instead of giving them a hard copy.

• Encourage others to reduce consumption by including a little blurb in your signature line like, "Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail."or if you think it would be a better motivator - "Print this e-mail only if necessary - saving money means a bigger raise/profit sharing/stock dividend/etc."

It automatically goes by my ink and papaer savings settings and reduces ink usage on all my print jobs.

The print quality is great and you can definitely tell that its saving ink every time you print.

I installed it since last June and have just bought a new tank of ink. Normally i chew through a new cartridge once a month so this product is great for my business.

I would recommend it to anyone. Its a great product.

There is a trial version that allows you to print something like 50 times.

You should give it a try.

There is a standard version that saves only ink; the pro version saves paper as well.
