Tip 79 - N-up printing

Some programs and printers allow users to shrink documents so that multiple pages can be printed onto a single sheet of paper. So called "n-up" printing can be convenient for reference documents, especially if you don't want them taking up a lot of space. You may not want to read an entire book at 16 pages per sheet, but it can be convenient to have your address book crammed onto just a few sheets of paper to carry in a notebook or wallet. Programmes such as Microsoft Word and Powerpoint allows such option during the printing process. Some printers even had this built into their drivers.

Tip No 78 - Duplex printing

Many larger printers offer an automatic duplexing option, allowing you to easily print on both sides of a sheet of paper. Unfortunately, the option is not always enabled by default. If you're not sure whether your printer is capable of duplex printing, look in the driver settings or on the printer's configuration page for information on duplex or double-sided printing

Tip No 77 - Print Preview

Printouts don't always come out looking like you'd expect, especially when printing from the Web. For instance, when printing directions from Google Maps, I often get a page at the end of the printout with nothing but a header and footer. In cases like these, it pays to use your browser's Print Preview function to make sure what you see really is what you'll get.

Tip No 76 - Print only what you need

When printing webpages, why waste ink printing online ads, navigation elements, or other extraneous junk? Or what if you just need to print a phone number or graphic, rather than an entire page? You may already use page range printing, but most programs allow you to print even smaller portions of a document.
Use your mouse to highlight just the area you need. Select File -> Print, then under the "Print range" options, choose "Selection." Only the area you selected will be printed

A superfast, little known secret shortcut to your printer utility (drivers)

In fact, you're looking at it right now! The same Web browser that is showing you this page can be used to give you quick access to your printer's software utility to do maintenance, adjust paper and color settings, and more. In the address bar, type the following: control panel\printers (that's the backslash "\") and press Enter on the keyboard. Next, right-click on your printer's icon and choose Properties from the drop-down menu.
