Printers and printing (part II)

I’ve complained about printers and the way they are used. I’d like to add another thing that frustrates me a lot: printing in color. Everyone seems to want to print in color, as if their work would improve in quality significantly when printed in color (in fact, I did see a tagline for one color printer to be “Printing in color makes your work look better”). Most documents I see printed in color contain less than 0.1% color text or graphics and, while today’s printers minimize the amount of wasted ink, it still seems incredibly wasteful.
