The department's re-engineering goals include the creation of a "paperless society by the year 2001," Cohen said, and the movement of all paper-based documentation and transactions to electronic media." I guess a paperless society will take some more time... ;) FC PS: I noticed Samsung has started offering its own toner-saving software (aka Print optimization) in their web site for its laser printer. It reduces ink usage by offering a preview of the printout (before it's sent to the windows print spooler) and then lets you adjust grayscales and basically sets "brightness" higher (blacks become grays, grays become lighter grays, etc) saving a lot of toner in the process. Perhaps this could be integrated as a "toner saver" feature in the print preview dialog, so it benefits everyone not only those with Samsung printers or those who have installed third party ink saving software? -- During times of Universal Deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act Durante épocas de Engaño Universal, decir la verdad se convierte en un Acto Revolucionario - George Orwell
