Print Free Graph Paper:
OK - not so glamorous, but if you use graph paper it can come in handy in a pinch. probably not cost effective in bulk, but when your trig homework is due or you need to create a layout for your house project this is very useful. Comesin Cartesian, Log, Polar, Isometric, and more.

Printer Anywhere lets you share any of your printers via the internet. I use this at home by connecting the 3 laptops via Printer Anywhere to our desktop. Then I send a print job without having to resort to a flash stick. I can even sit a drink coffee in Panera and send all of my printing to my home printer or my friend’s printer.

This free utility lets you hide your printer from the world if you desire and require manual approval to print jobs which can stop someone from printing the Encyclopedia Americana to your house (printer spam?)….
