Mark,

FOSS4G 2008 provided use of a printing account paid for by the
conference to workshop presenters.  I think there may have been
guidelines on what was considered a reasonable amount of expense.

Given that workshops are cash generating, and a large effort to prepare
for, I don't think it is unreasonable for the conference to pay for
handouts.

Best regards,
