 Back in the '90s. I was looking to migrate from Telegard/Frontdoor to
 Max/BinkleyTerm. I worked at a law firm where every page printed needed
 to be allocated to a client to be charged back, or scrutinized if it
 was unbillable.

 I was one of three people with access to the server room. One was a
 writer, and she'd discovered a lonely Laserjet 4M in the corner that
 wasn't connected to the print server. You could send jobs to it
 directly.

 I printed *reams* of BBS manuals while I was there...

 Aside: Many years later, I worked at a company where we outsourced
 print management to Xerox. They alerted us to a serious increase in
 page counts the last week of November. It turns out we had some budding
 writers in the company (myself included) who did National Novel Writing
 Month, a sprint to write a 45,000 word novel in 30 days during the
 month of November. Lots of completed novels got printed that month.   :)
