I am using the fortune program to select from a Jargon file database (as

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 suits 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).
