I agree with you that federal courts need an overhaul. There are too many judges trying too few trials. And the nitpicky rules and costs are absurd.
Printing evidence? You mean instead of just photocopying? Why? Just because printing is a taxable cost and copying is not? That's low.
Photocopy or printing ~ depends on the machine you use. Drop your CD in the slot; the electronic photo/litho offset begins churning out all the copies you want, in nice, neat book form.
Yup, that's the stuff.
To qualify as "printing" I think they need only 2 copies. Whatever it is, it costs a lot, the federal courts consume vast mountains ofit, and so far I've never, ever seen a single lawyer read any of it.
