And that is the bottom line. They are virtually giving those printers away. Profits are in cartridges. So it is cheaper to buy a new one.

Meanwhile, Fed Ex and UPS provide excellent printers in their copy machines. B&W print is like 7 or 8 cents per copy. Color is too expensive.

But convert that file to a recognized format. For example, that printer (copier, scanner) probably will not understand .TXT, .DOC, .BMP, or .GIF files. Converting that file to .PDF and putting it on a USB drive should work just fine.

Unfortunately, I have yet to fine a copy place who can list all their acceptable file formats. Even employees (and what I believe was the manager in one place) did not know. When in doubt, bring the file (text or graphic) converted to .PDF.

A good and temporary solution when cash flow is a problem.
