My clever scheme was foiled at the hotel

I think it's cool that your real name is kranky!

That took more than 50 secs.

100 pages off of a fax machine :Q

 

[dquan97]

[rh71]

[bonkers325]

Originally posted by: krankyI got a report emailed to me that I needed to review and comment on immediately. I had my laptop but without a printer it was going to be very tedious; for example, making sure what was said in one part is consistent with what is said in other sections. This is very time-consuming without a paper copy.

Check out delta view, my company uses it to compare changes in documents.

:beer: for innovative printing.

It sounds like you were on a business trip -- why didn't you just pay for the printing and expense it?

Bingo.

lol, you got your prints, I wouldn't be complaining...

1) Provide the desk clerk with a token of your gratitude as an apology for the inconvience and appreciation for the assistance that was provided.

2) Some places have a guest office area that you can use; just ask.

3) Other places may allow you (under supervision) to use a printer from one of their computers; just ask.

4) They may have a printer that you can hook temporarily to your laptop (under supervision) and/or allow you to print from a memory stick.

The key to #3 or #4 is to ask very politely and reward the people that helped you with some type of gratitude :gift:beyond a thank-you

vi_edit, it was obvious that to attempt your suggestion would have insulted his intelligence.
rh71, maybe that's how he caught on to me!
phoenix86, I have Office 2003 which does have a compare function, but this was the first draft, sadly! And thanks for the :beer:
ggavinmoss, yes, I could have expensed it, but (1) I'm notoriously cheap with company money, and (2) it was about a 40 minute round-trip to the nearest place I could have paid for printing. The hotel didn't offer that service.
