In an effort to reduce paper usage this year I have been trying to find ways of replacing all of my paper based activities, and as much as I’d like to, I just can’t get away from the need to occasionally write something down, this search led me to Kickstarter and Rocketbook. Initially the product I landed on was the Wave, a notebook that you could erase by microwaving, but this could only be done 5 times, so didn’t quite meet the green credentials I was looking for, however, they did do another product, the Everlast, this was a product that could be erased multiple times, purely by running a damp cloth over the page, this seemed ideal, so I looked further into it.

The default printer options in the System Preferences pane are not that extensive, so to gain access to a range of extra options, you can access the CUPS configuration pages To do this, you need to open Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities or search for it after pressing CMD-SPACE) and type the following cupsctl WebInterface=yes after pressing Enter the web interface should now be available, so open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:631

To perform an administrative task from within a standard users account, it is often quicker to elevate to an admin account via Terminal rather than logging out and in again. To do this, you need to open Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities or search for it after pressing CMD-SPACE) for this example, my admin account is named localadmin, so replace localadmin with your admin user shortname in Terminal, type the following su localadmin
