I have a printer at home that prints good, fairly high quality photos, documents. However, it's started being a bit 'shaky' when printing text etc. I've got something really important to print off and can't risk having shaky words/charts.

Anyone know where you can take files on a stick to be printed off for you? Somewhere not too expensive hopefully as I have 73 pages needing printed.

Thanks

I used a Pronto Print shop recently to print off my poster and that was from a memory stick. Have a look in the phone book for printers/print shops to see if you have any local to you. I found that quite often the smaller businesses will do it cheaper than the large chains. Failing that I have a good relationship with my children's school and I know they would do it for me. I would provide the paper and give a small donation for ink. That would prob work out much cheaper. I am also sure my NCMA development work/network co-ordinator would do the same sort of thing.

Hope you get it sorted:D

that's a great idea. :clapping: thanks hon. might ask the children's centre/school, I can take my paper and give them a donation. Never thought of that! I think it's because i've got a bog standard printer - I need a laser jet type thing for this.

my kiddies school will print out for me when i am desperate and i pay 5p a sheet.

staples will also print for you, they do charge a fee for putting a stick into their system, this covers them against any viruses that may be transfered, i cant remember what the cost is though.
