Keep It Simple
Many ink jet printers offer a draft or fast mode. If you aren't too concerned with print quality, draft mode may not only save you time, but ink too.
Switching from color mode to black and white can also add to your savings.
Print Area [In Excel]
By default, an entire worksheet is printed in Excel unless you indicate a specific print area. To limit the printed area,
1) Highlight the cells you want to print,
2) Choose File > Print Area > Set Print Area.
The new print area remains in place until changed.
To clear the current print area, pick File > Print Area > Clear Print Area.
Fit to Page [In Excel]
Unlike Word documents, content is not limited by the paper size or orientation. A worksheet can be split into as many pages as needed to display the content but sometimes you might want to fit all data into one page by height or width. To do this, first choose File > Page Setup, set margins to the smallest size that will work for your layout. Change paper size and orientation if you want. Next, select the Page tab and under the Scaling category pick Fit to For instance, if you want to fit all data columns on one lengthwise page, change orientation to landscape and choose Fit to 1 page wide by 999 pages tall. Try it, this setting won't stretch pages to 999 pages but will make sure that a low value won't accidentally shrink the pages to a much smaller size. Another option under Scaling is to adjust the size to a percentage of the normal size.
