I made up an advert to stick in my car window. Honda for sale. As I don't have a printer at the moment, I copied the advert which I had made in Open Office, and transferred it to a flash drive. I then went to Copy Solutions and asked if they could print off a couple of copies for me.
They couldn't open the file (they didn't have the right program) and asked me to re-save it as a PDF and then they could do it. What! they are a copy place aren't they?

Ok, so I went around the corner and took it to Warehouse Stationery and they wanted $3 up front to check the flashdrive for viruses, and then weren't sure whether they could open the file. In the end, I said forget it. I took it to my neighbour who has a printer and she did it no problems whatsoever! Just gave her a packet of teabags, (I'm always over there having cups of tea) all is sweet!
When all else fails, go see your neighbour!

Must say that is pretty slack, we certainly don't charge to look or check files.
