In my small town, we only have a staples.
We do have a UPS store and the one and only time I had copies made there they printed crooked pages and the paper I used was expensive and they wouldn't reimburse for the paper. (of course they didn't charge me either for printing) I just through them away and I got new paper then went to Staples.

Well, I called and the lady I talked to was completely clueless. She said she's really not sure but we should receive a "card" with our account information on it so we can take it into the store.

So I'll turn blue as well waiting for this card!

I gather this was Home Office you called--right? I don't know when they will respond to the e-mail I sent them yesterday.

Thanks. Please don't turn blue!
 
Oops- I apologize for my mis-post about the 39 cent color copies. I was thinking of the 17 cent price we had last year. Sorry!!

KG- it's a color laser that we got. We treated ourselves. We had an inkjet, but used it so seldom that every time we used it (practically) we had to put in new cartridges. I couldn't use it easily because it was in DH's office. The new printer is there, too, but it's on the wireless network, so I can print without getting my fat lazy butt off the couch!
 
Oooh! A color LASERJET!!! I'm so jealous!:)
 
It's nice. We're dreading buying cartridges, because there are 4 and they'll be $100 each. But we'll get more pages from them than from inkjet cartridges, and it's crisp, professional printing.

BTW- LaserJet is a trademark of HP. Technically ours is just a laser printer. It's a.... well, shoot, I don't remember what brand it is. I think a Lexmark.
