Save Ink: Preview Before You Print

Not long ago, I blogged Three Smart Tools To Reduce Printing Costs and mentioned GreenPrint, a print previewing tool.

When it was first released it cost $30 and I wasn't sure it did enough for the price. But now there's GreenPrint World, a 100-percent free, ad-based version available for download, so you'll not only be saving money, but saving the environment as well.

And you may not know it, but Internet Explorer 7 has a print preview function. Not to be outdone, Firefox has a Print/Print Preview add-on.) But both of these options are dreadfully deficient, primarily because you can't delete any pages before printing. About the best you can do with IE7's preview is changing the margins, which may be enough to reformat the document and remove a pesky last page that has only a few lines.
