Removing images when printing?

(1/3) > >>

Jibz:
I was printing a few documents today and was thinking it would be nice to be able to remove images and print 2-up to save ink.

I found:

* GreenCloud, which lets you print multiple pages per page, but does not let you remove graphics.
* GreenPrint, which lets you remove graphics, but only on whole pages, and does not appear to support 2-up/4-up
* FinePrint and priPrinter, which look somewhat overkill, and are also more expensive
Any recommendations?

eleman:
There's this iprint thingie, but I'm not sure if it would allow you remove images. Haven't used it for a while.

Curt:
Print in Draft Mode

In some print drivers, this mode goes under the name of “Print Saver,” “Toner Saver,” or “Economy.” When you select File –> Print, a box will pop up with your printer’s settings. Click “Properties” to see specific options for your print job. Click on the tab that says “Paper/Quality” or something similar and you’ll see an option to change your print quality to “Draft.” Selecting the draft option will print your photo at a lower resolution and the printer will dispense less ink. This selection is designed for initial-draft copies of a photo or document when overall quality is not important.

I was very pleased with •Readability ◦ http://www.readability.com/ ◦ "Readability is a web and mobile app that zaps clutter and saves web articles in a comfortable reading view."  - but that is for web articles only, before saving the documents.

Other than that, at first I would recommend PriPrinter Pro, but that was because we had an early version a lot cheaper than the new; ouch, it's expensive! So, you query for alternatives to priprinter: http://alternativeto.net/software/priprinter/ and you get this answer:

Removing images when printing?

Steven Avery:
I think PriPrinter Pro will be willing to give Donationcoder a 30% discount on the Pro, making it a bit better.

Based on some recent correspondence after a Bits special (which was not on the Pro.)

The program is very good, and the alternatives like Fineprint also cost money.
Depends on the long-term features and sophistication you like.

I plan to buy.

seems to me the standard version would be fine - unless the "PDF publisher" integrated in the pro version is something special...

Edit, maybe it is - this link gives a better idea of differences:
