Printing a long report on old Green-Bar paper

I need to print a report from Excel that is likely to be 750-1000 pages long.
Rather than use a laser printer, do any of the quick print type places have an impact-type printer that would print on the wide green bar type paper?

Man, do I sound old-fashioned!

I guess the better question is, what prevents the person you are giving the report to from viewing it digitally?.....electricity?

That green bar computer paper is high quality. It is the most valuable paper to a recycler. At one point, it was worth 20 cents a pound.

Try digital. No report is worth killing that much tree.
Power is nothing till you use it.

Either print to a PDF and use that or buy a nice old Oki wide carriage printer for a song. ;)

You might even be able to find an old IBM line printer on the cheap these days. Much faster than a standard dot matrix.

Don't forget the blue binding cover! [8D]

This is a report that has to cross many hands to be marked up before a big change.  
Its a long report but many depts are going to have input.  Some of those folks dont have electronic access.

Buhleeeve me...if there was an electronic/laser printer way, I'da done it.
