There are two reasons that I disabled my startup page.  The first is that
it saves a lot of paper (trees) if you turn your printer off and on very
often. The second is that the printer (my printer, at least) boots quite a
bit faster if it doesn't have to print the startup page.  I'd say, at a rough
guess, that the printer will boot in 10 seconds instead of 45 seconds, but
I've got a hard disk attached, so that may account for some of it.
