Printing the manual? // Roundtable 1  |   Order by default Post by spyfrog // May 12, 2007, 11:34pm spyfrog Total Posts: 181 Hi, I am not sure that this is the right place to ask this questions but I will try anyway. Since the manual to TS is only in PDF format, some of us would probably want to print it. Personally I can't read this much text on screen, it makes me dizzy. However, printing this much on a inkjet printer isn't really fun. If I try to print it on my work they will go ballistic (tried that with 6.6...). So what to do? Does anyone have any suggestions for some kind of online printing company? A place where you can send the pdf files, get them printed and they mail the result to you? If this company could be found in Sweden I would be even more happy, to keep my transport cost down. However, anywhere in EU would be fine. US would probably be to expensive when it comes to shipping and the customs could become a problem. Any good suggestions? Or should I simply buy a laser printer?

It isn't the cost that disturbs me most with printing it at home - it's the time. A good inkjet prints one page in 30 seconds. Multiply that with 500 pages and you have work for a while...

I went for a b&w lazer-jet just for this reason. At sub-100 dollars they are better for sure. Time to print manual ... do one pdf at a time and spread the deed out over a few days.

I went through the PDFs and wrote down the sections that were 'new' (I had already printed the 6.6 Manual a while ago) Of course I had to buy new cartridges for my at-home Deskjet, but it went pretty fast and I got it pretty much all done in one evening and part of the next day. Just start doing it and don't think about it - it'll work out OK :) rf Post by kena // May 13, 2007, 5:19am kena Total Posts: 2321 Most copy stores can use the PDS format to print your manual for you. and faster printers. It costs money though.
