It's good for you to print your jobs to a shared printer, since there are chances that someone else may take your printouts away, especially when your printed jobs get embedded into others' ones. It can allow you to put a banner (e.g., your name on the first, or every page of your printed job), you (of course, other users) can easily find your printed jobs from a stack of paper. However, it does have some shortcomings. Nowadays, more and more scientific journals put some banners (like, where and when you download their PDF file) on each page of a given PDF file. These banners generally run vertically on each page. I'm not sure whether the latest version of FinePrint can handle these banners well. The earlier version can not handle these banners well. For example, it generally prints these vertical banners horizontally that make normal words illegible. It sometimes can handle part of the vertical banners with tightly squeezed fonts. Sometimes, FintPrint can not handle well embeded images in a given PDF file (the images in the preview is OK, but the actual printout is not.). Sometimes, FintPrint converts the English words in a given PDF file to strange characters. If FintPrint can get rid of this shortcomings, it'll be very useful. FinePrint is a nice program.
