Product snapshot and suggested substitute
CleverPrint is a virtual printer for Windows that intercepts print jobs from any application that can print and provides tools to reduce paper use and control output. If you need an alternative driver, consider the Canon LBP2900b driver, which is commonly available at no cost.
Key capabilities
- Apply a custom sheet background color and tweak page appearance before sending to the printer.
- Remove unwanted page elements such as borders or embedded images to save ink and space.
- Combine several files or arrange multiple pages on a single sheet using different layout options.
- Add watermarks using the built-in, simple editor; note that you’ll need a separate program to design full letterheads.
Output choices and printing workflow
CleverPrint lets you pick a physical printer for the final job, or use its Print & Close feature to send the job straight to your system’s default printer. Beyond physical output, it supports exporting to PDF or various image formats and can attach the resulting file to an email for quick distribution — useful when reducing paper is the goal.
Interface and usability
The application presents a clean, ribbon-style toolbar similar to those found in contemporary office suites, making the controls intuitive and attractive. The layout and visual design make it straightforward to preview, edit, and arrange print jobs even if you don’t have advanced desktop publishing experience.
Why use it
If you want tighter control over how documents are printed and to cut down on wasted paper and ink, CleverPrint provides a compact set of features tailored for that purpose: layout consolidation, simple watermarking, element removal, and multiple export or printing paths to fit your workflow.
