One of our clients had a problem with their printer. Minor issue, that was caused by them being out of Magenta toner and not noticing. No problem you say.....

While one of our techs was talking them through changing it, there was an idle comment made about not being able to print stuff in Black and White. They wanted this as one of their suppliers keeps sending them emails on a Yellow background.

Their solution to save on all the Yellow ink they'd use when printing these out: Print it on Yellow paper!

*headdesk*

The customer now knows how to print in Black and White. I'm sure whatever goes into the making of Yellow ink will thank us for avoiding any further needless sacrifice.

Reminds me of the guy in my boyfriend's office who decided to save paper by printing the daily 1-page schedule at 75%, then trimming the edges off.

Maybe his printer or file-reader is screwed and the "1-page" schedule always turns out to take up a full page, plus the top 4 rows of pixels on the next page? I have had to do similar before.

Reminds me, I've got a *really* good rant about events at work with a color printer...
