and change the trigger to printing.

that should work....

realize that this will be extremely irritating. if its for your own use its like kicking yourself in the rear (as you will need to print some things at some times) and if its for an office of people then you've just annoyed the entire office. there is absolutely no such thing as a paperless office. while great in concept it just doesnt work as paper is an easier medium to work with (and is cheaper than having lots of portable e-paper displays).

its possible to cut down quite a bit on paper... but there are some times when you just need things printed.
