tree-killer

tree-killer n.  [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 {suit}s are
   tree-killers.  The negative loading of this term may reflect the
   epithet `tree-killer' applied by Treebeard the Ent to the Orcs
   in J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" (see also
   {elvish}, {elder days}).
