LPT: premium printer paper LPT Not a big deal, but spend a little extra on printer paper if you can. 32 lb is good. If you’re printing documents, etc., it adds heft.

LPT: Never pay a bill that isn’t yours. Companies, especially billing departments, often try to get you to pay charges you’re not responsible for.
