When Does Your IT Provider Start to Care About Your Cost Per Page?

In the last month, I've had to visit the same Doctors office about six times. Seems I developed cataracts in both eyes. I opted for the surgery and everything went very well. Not being a frequent visitor to Doctors offices, these trips to the same Eye Center piqued my interest about how much paper they use. This particular Eye Center had three separate print devices (all A4). One was an older HP that was just used for printing, the other was an older Canon fax, and last but not least was an
