    I have read on this forum that there is a printer in college that will allow me to print whatever I like for free, as long as I bring my own paper.
    Could anyone tell me where it is?
    And is it possible to print in colour?


    Thanks.

    Generally it is the departments that offer free printing to their own students.

    I'm 5% sure (as in I vaguely remember something) about the computer room of a certain building (famous for having *ahem secluded toilets :D) offering free printing to students. You're supposed to be a student of that department, but apparently anyone can log in to them :eek:.

    No, 'cause if you abuse it the students who are meant to use it, won't get to use it.

    Nah that one costs money. Toilets are definitely amazing. I think the maths department is free although it has a really hard to use system if you've never been there. And you'll probably get lost once you set foot in there.

    So pay for it like everyone else. Why are you special in comparison to everyone?

    If you put the files you want on a USB stick, and then sneak into an unlocked science lab upstairs in the SNIAM ... you can print from those computers for free.

    Special?
    Me?
    Far from it.


    Listen, I think you need to take a deep breath and count to ten.
    I asked if there was free printing available on campus, so long as I supply the paper. ( Something I read on this forum before ).
    Your attitude is unhelpful and was unprovoked as far as I can make out.

    If you have had a bad day, take it to the ranting and raving forum.

    There is free printing provided by certain departments for their students. Some departments ask that the students supply their own paper.
    If you havn't heard about it, your department obviously doesnt offer it, so you have to pay for printing in the public access computer rooms.

    Your department might be open to the suggestion tho, so pop in and ask.

    Ok Mr Mod.

    mardybumbum, you can hardly blame him for holding that POV after all your talk of being in the 1937 room.

    Well, thats something completely different.
    It has nothing to do with printing facilities.

    The guy assumes I have some kind of superiority complex because I did a bit of late night study in the 1937 coming up to exams, and Im trying to save a bit of money on the printing side of things.

    If he has a personal dislike for me ( Im not sure why, as I have never met the chap ) this thread isn't the place for it.

    You'd be better off asking m8s in RL about this than on a forum, because while people may have no problem with helping YOU out, by the very nature of forums, once its posted here, everyone knows about it, and suddenly our private room becomes flooded with people.

    They are actually being sold in Reads for 50 euro.
    50 squids is still 50 squids though.
    Maybe If I win the lotto.

    If you are interested in free pints you could check out The Mercantile on Dame Street.
    There are a group of ladies there during the day conducting a survey, in which you must rate the tastiness of three different beers.
    If you are a fas drinker you could knock back the three pints during the survey.
    They also give you a fiver as a thanks.
    Sweet.
