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.

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. <a href="http://www.fineprint.com/products/fineprint/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.fineprint.com/products/fineprint/index.html</a> DAVE A better solution is to use FinePrint.

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. Good tip, Ed.

(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!
