Tips for Students to Print Wisely
Ask “Do I really need to print this?”
Print double-sided.
Don't print ALL the pages.  Select only pages you really need to print.
Print multiple pages on one page in PowerPoint, PDF, or Word docs.
Select text from a website, copy/paste into MS Word, and print just that text.
Bookmark websites instead of printing the page (Delicious, Google).
Print to PDF for electronic copies instead of paper copies.
