I need to print something by Friday but my printer is out of ink and I don't think I'll be able to get hold of any for at least a week. I don't have the option of printing at work and I don't know anyone else who has a printer. Does anyone know how I can print this file?

My local library does have internet access but I'm not sure they have any printers (must be a colour printer) and the computers are usually booked well in advance. Is there anywhere else I could try?
 
Is there no friends/relatives/enemies who have a printer you could use if you sent them the file.

If the file is that important either buy new ink or buy a new printer, they are cheap enough as it is

No offence but this is bizarre. You have 6-days to get something printed, if it was like tomorrow morning I might understand?

Surly you must have some family, friend or neighbour who can help you out? Everyone has printers nowadays.

I hardly visit my local library but last time I went they had rows of computers with no one using them, are you out in the country or something?

If worst comes to it but one of them cheap £30 printers from pcworld or something??

It's a Dell printer. I'm not sure I can buy their ink in a high street shop (checked Staples site and couldn't see anything). They have an express delivery option but I'll be at work all week so won't be here to collect it.

I'm in Croydon, btw.

Can you get it delivered to work?
 
If I had to print something urgently, and could not find a replacement toner for my printer I would buy a cheapo lexmark colour inkjet printer. Sold in most supermarkets for around £20-25.

The OP has six days (not hours) to try and find somewhere to print something off. He does have a printer with no ink, but has the internet that can be used to search for ink suppliers.

As I've said, if I'm going to get any ink I need to find it in a high street store, not online, and it needs to be compatible with a dell printer. Was it really so unreasonable to ask this? No one forces you to read and answer the threads on this board.



I'll be using either the library (if they're not busy) or somewhere like Staples (wasn't aware they offered the service I'm after). Thanks again.
