Which, in the long run, means that it uses a (probably single-digit) percentage of paper more than a narrower font. I think cutting on verbosity would be more efficient. And, ah, printing less, of course. I actually print very little, perhep a dozen sheets a year. And even then I find I shouldn't have printed it, as by the time I need that paper, it's already obsolete.

I wonder if that's a conspiracy theory. I don't pay any attention to the software warnings. I change cartridges when the printed copies turn crappy and shaking the cartridge a bit doesn't clear it up.

Like you, I don't print very much. Mostly just Mapquest maps when I am driving somewhere I am unfamiliar with. And yeah, I know I should get those directions on the smartphone.
