AHHHH, I'm paperless!

I'm a Technogeek. You can ask my wife and family. I own an iPad and have figured out a way to make myself productive at work (for the government) without printing out a piece of paper. I'm happy about that. But I'm working for the federal government. They invented red tape. They print things several times to make sure they have it right, they print several copies so everyone can have a copy. How can I compete with this.
