Saving Receipts Without a Printer: A Desperate Solution

[pchefinski]

Okay, so my printer is shot. I haven't the money to get another right now, so I've been saving the receipts as PDF files, uploading them to my email, emailing them to my MIL's place, and printing them off onto the receipts for the guests. So far my little detour has worked. But it won't work now. I can't save the receipt document as anything, and I've tried PRINT SCREEN but you can't read it, it's so small. I pasted the PRINT SCREEN document into paint, cut out just the receipt part, pasted it into a Publisher document and expanded it to fit the page so I could read it.. nope, now it's blurry. I guess I could just offer half page receipts, and hope people can read them.. but I need to have 17 receipts! Can I make up my own receipts for this show and just print them off for the guests? I really don't want to install PP on my MIL's computer and put all that information over there b'c their computer gets viruses all the time, and they send it out to a friend of theirs to fix it and I don't feel comfortable with all my clients' information on the computer like that. Besides, it'd just be a hassle! I have another show in a couple weeks, and I'm also trying to get a Mystery Host catalog show going right now.. I don't want to have to mess with this! The bottom line is that I need a new printer, but when I can't just go out and buy a new one, is there a fix I can use for right now?? Thanks

Can you use one of the OOF's from this website and print it at your MIL's and then get the OOF from CC at your MIL's and just print the back page on your OOF's? Make sense?

You could hand write receipts in the write in or itemized. Those receipt have the legal stuff on the back and works fine as a receipt if they ever have a problem with a product. (you don't have to print receipts from your computer for guests that used the itemized or write in..... and if you plan to not have a printer for awhile, I would give out these receipts instead of any OOF's so that you don't have to do all of the writing yourself.It may be cheaper to just go to the store (or online) though and get a cheap cheap printer. for $30 or so.

At the end of my shows everyone fills out a recipt form ( its in triplicate ) the guests get theirs & I keep the rest.

Can we use the OOF on the PC website as an Official Receipt since it has the warranty and return info printed on the back?

Sure would save me in a pinch while waiting for Pampered Partner receipts!

It is an official receipt, but not for warranty issues. It has all the information they will need, but they will need a triplicate receipt or one that you print from PP if anything arises.
