But I will try and do duplexing and/or print to PDF.

I regularly print text so I have my printer to always print 2/sheet. If your printer supports duplexing, Duplex EVERYTHING.</p> <p>2) Most printers have lots of advanced settings. Explore your advanced settings and modify them so your defaults are as friendly as possible. Set to 'draft' printing, b&w only, no pictures, low-ink volume. Set things like tone to "coolest" and "dimest." -- This saves a great deal on ink/toner.</p> <p>3) There are lots of things that you really need a hard-copy for. It's hard to learn lines or rehearse off a monitor. When you have multi-use things, keep them in your filing cabinet and never print them a second time.</p> I use a few tactics:

Receiving faxes digitally avoids wasting papers and as on a sidenote, it's easier forwarding them to colleagues, archiving them and receiving them when your not at the office as well.</p> <p>Hire a service to do so or have a PC or Mac (with a modem) doing it for you. We use to have an old Powermac G5 doing this for us, it enables you saving the faxes to a (shared) folder or mailing them to trough e-mail (both as PDF), but I'm shure there's solutions for Windows and Linux as well.</p> Not only print to PDF, fax to PDF!
