I am curious to know how many central OSP offices print out for
> review and/or retention a hard copy of the proposals submitted

Our PIs usually print a copy for internal routing to department
chairs and deans because neither seems comfortable with
assigning and using proposal pins for electronic review.  We
maintain a hard copy in the office for handy reference which
works well when Fastlane is down or slow.....and then there's
the campus network.  Face it, sometimes its just nice to
read from paper instead of a screen.

The Fastlane system is great, however.  Even if we print and
route one copy, much is saved in all the extra copies we no
longer make.  It has also simplified post award actions and
resubmissions.
