The biggest problem with going "paperless" is changing the mindset of everyone who has to buy-in to the concept.  Even with documents that reside on a server, there will always be the die-hards who have to have a hard copy in their hands in order to use the information.

A set of guidelines for changing gears, in your case, should be a priority to the powers-that-be.  Without direction and encouragement from the top level managers, staff members will continue to do what they have always done, and print out documents whenever they need to work with them.  

Hopefully, your executive level of managers has thought this through and has developed an action plan to get everyone (well, as many as possible) to go paperless.
