英翻 臭自动翻译者勿扰
it is difficult to measure the quantitiy of paper used as a result of use of internet-connected computers,although just about anyone who works in an office can tell u that when e-mail is introduced,the printers star working oertime .（下句不译）That is, the growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to the increased use of the internet.
我就不明白呀 although 什么although呀?
虽然办公室绝大多数职员明知在打印，但却无法跟踪出用纸的数量。因为他们使用的是联网的计算机，任何人都可以打印，可能是本办公室的人，也可能是其它部门的人
这个是tongueodyssey同学给出的似乎很有力的解释 不过确实比别人有点道理 大家还是信服一下吧

答案

但由于使用了联网计算机,因此难以计算用纸数量,不过办公室里的人几乎都可以告诉你只要收到电子邮件,打印机就会开始工作.
although表转折,正常语序是although just about anyone who works in an office can tell u that when e-mail is introduced,the printers star working overtime,it is difficult to measure the quantitiy of paper used as a result of use of internet-connected computers.但由于although后面的句子太长了,所以作者故意把它放在后面,从而突出前一句.just about = almost.
