tree-killer
     
         (Sun) 1. A printer.
     
        2. A person who wastes paper.  This epithet should be
        interpreted in a broad sense; "wasting paper" includes the
        production of {spiffy} but {content-free} documents.  Thus,
        most {suits} are tree-killers.
     
        This term may derive from {J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the
        Rings"
       
     (http://sf.www.lysator.liu.se/sf_archive/sf-texts/SF_resource_guide/sfrgft.htm)}.
        in which Treebeard the Ent uses it to refer to the orcs'
        master, Saruman of Isengard.  Saruman represents, among other
        things, technology at its most misguided.
     
        See also: {dead tree}.
