    Default reuse of printing paper?

    So I print the coupons and a lot of the time there is 2/3 of the paper left after i cut the coupon. I hate to throw it away and usually give it to my girls to draw on. Has anybody tried to use the 2/3 sheet of paper to print another coupon on? Does it work or does it get stuck in the printer?

    I use it all the time, I also print my coupons on the back of other stuff that has been printed (reports from work).

    If your printer has a flip down tray that lets you bypass the normal feed and put the paper in that way, you have the best chance of putting paper through without it jamming.

    If your putting it in the drawers (normal feed), you'll have the best chance of them jamming.

    My printer doesn't like to reuse paper. I don't let the paper go to waste though. I put the scraps into a basket on my desk and use them for grocery lists, or notes to the teacher. Sometimes I grab a few on the way out for my son to draw on. It keeps him busy for a few minutes.

    I agree with the poster about using the single sheet feeder rather than the tray. Much less chance of jamming.

    I use all the cut away paper from printing coupons (that which is usable) as note paper, keep a basket near my computer just for that purpose.

    I work my deals out on it, then transfer the deals in the order I plan to do my transactions to an envelope and put the coupons (clipped together by transaction) inside the envelope.

    I use that 'scrap' paper all the time for everything I find I need to write something down on. No waste.

    I also use mine for note paper. Maybe i should try to reuse it one time and see if it works. I have the tray on my printer...

    I use my leftovers to wrap my trading coupons in to mail.
