Now this is cool.  This software lets you easily not print unwanted pages (for example, the pesky last pages with just a URL or logo on it).  It also keeps tabs on the number of pages NOT printed so you can directly see your impact on the environment.  They also have a font that is readable but saves in printing.  This is a definite to check out!
