Green Print to the Rescue!

By Queuebot in Gadgets, Hacks & Mods on Feb 2, 2009 at 9:49 pm

Hayden Hamilton has devised a tool called GreenPrint, software that analyzes what a computer sends to a
printer, to eliminate paper waste and save ink.

GreenPrint “looks for pages that have no type or just a few lines of type (users can set the parameters). Then, the software automatically eliminates these pages from the print job. Users can reselect the pages if desired and deselect any other pages they don’t want to print — say, the pages of legal jargon at the end of an airline reservation. The software lets users eliminate images from a print job — for instance, the maps generated in online driving directions — thus saving ink. GreenPrint also allows users to avoid printing altogether by saving documents as PDF files.”
