Getting your computer to use the least amount of power can be problematic.
Intel's
<ulink url="http://www.linuxpowertop.org/index.php"></ulink> project provides information on reducing power usage, tips, and tricks for Intel-based computers running Linux.
As a first step, Intel has released PowerTOP, a tool that helps you find what
software is using the most power. By fixing (or closing) these applications or
processes, you can immediately see the power savings in the tool. You'll also
see the estimated time left for battery power if you are running a laptop. The
Tips &amp; Tricks page has fixes for a lot of the issues that are already found.

Besides command line tools for sophisticated printing there are also
usefull GUI applications available. KPrinter opens automatically
when you click on the "Print" icon of any KDE application. Choose your
print job settings by going through the dialog and the click on the
"Print" button.
kprinter is a very versatile tool. Depending on the actual features
and power of the print subsystem of your com- puter, kprinter
translates the former's abilities into a nice and easy-to-understand
GUI e.g. if your print subsystem does not support duplexing, kprinter
will not show the option.

extension will help you to save some ink and paper. Once installed,
it adds a "Remove this object" option to the right-click context menu.
Place your mouse over information you don't need printed (menu bars,
big graphical logos and so on) and use "Remove this object" to zap
them temporarily. Clean up the page, then print just what you need.
