Where to print stuff on the high street

manic111 · 8 Sep 2017 at 11:51

I need to print a few documents, which is not something I've had to do for rather a while, and therefore I no longer have a printer. Usually, I'd do so at the office, but I'm on annual leave today and really don't want to go into work!

I need to head into town to run a few errands anyway - does anywhere on the high street allow you to print documents from email? It seems like something the Post Office should offer, but I can find no evidence that they do...

How about your local library?

The post offices usually do not have terminals, just photocopiers, are there any internet cafes near you, you could also try a library

Pretty sure tesco has some form of printing facility, might be from USB though.

Local library will do that.

Depends on how many pages but a managers special at a well known pc and electrical store? Might get a printer for £30 and some paper for £5.

Rymans do printing at 16p per sheet depending on quantity.

Tescos etc. tend to have machines that take all kinds of memory cards and also USB, can you do a 'print to pdf' and then save the PDFs on a usb stick?

That's why I haven't got any ink for my Printer... Ink is more expensive then a new Printer. lol

Yep, we often just purchased new printers if they broke or ran out of inks, ended up cheaper.

Do you honestly not know anyone who owns a printer? Thats the easiest option surely

You know, I never thought of doing that. Damn, what a stupid wasteful world we live in, that said I understood from the printer industry that they make the money from the ink they sell, not the printers, so that's why they can be so cheap.

Thanks for that tip!
