I’m on a crusade to encourage every Windows user to remove the Print button from the Internet Explorer toolbar. Why? Because more often than not, clicking the Print button causes you to waste paper by printing at least one more page than you really need. (Invariably, you’ll get a blank page – or one containing just a single line of text – when you click Print.)
The solution? Preview before you print. By adding a preview, you can see at a glance whether you’re about to waste a page and then use the Print dialog box to specify that you only want to print the current page.
In Internet Explorer you can replace the Print button with the Print Preview button. (Firefox doesn’t provide this option.) Right-click the toolbar and choose Customize from the shortcut menu. Find the Print button in the Current Toolbar Buttons list on the right, select it, and then click Remove. In the Available toolbar buttons list, select the Print Preview button and click Add. Click Close to make the change effective.
Get in the habit of using the Print Preview option. To print Web pages from the Preview window, click the Print button, which in turn opens the Print Options dialog box, where you can choose which pages you want to print.

Ed: My comment has nothing to do with todays tip (although I did implement it thanks). You might want to read this article, which covers a similar topic to one you mentioned here several months ago. It concerns Microsoft One Care, which the article describes as a paid security service that Microsoft may offer to protect its own products.

A better solution is to use FinePrint. FinePrint is a print “driver” that intercepts print jobs and allows you to print 2-up, 4-up, etc. jobs. It also allows you to easily delete pages from the job (like those near-blank last pages from printing a website). When you’re all set, you send the job to any Windows printer.
I’ve had this utlity in my arsenal and I use it every single day. I’ve certainly saved a tree or two with it.

Good tip, Ed. And Dave, I’ve used FinePrint to save not just trees, but myself a small fortune in printing costs by printing 2 or more sheets per page. It’s a fantastic app, and helpful for printing long web pages, ebooks, etc.
Dave, I’m a big fan of FinePrint and have used it for years. (Click the Software link at the top of the main page to see this and other apps I use.) Only reason I don’t mention it here is the cost. At $50 a copy it’s too pricey for many people!
