There is sometimes an option for this anyway,  but yeah,   good tip on a
related note make sure you have enough paper in the printer, or to hand
in order to do the job.  The same would go for ink,  but that is harder
to assess how much ink the job will use.  

Also depending on what is being printed  can you save paper by printing
2 in 1 pages.
