What's the cheapest way to print massive # of pages?

My instructor made a class packet available online in .doc format. This can also be bought at the bookstore, but I was wondering if there's an economical way to print about 100 pages at once?

And what would be the cheapest solution to print out a 900 page(450 double sided) pdf file and have it bundled?

 
Buy it a the bookstore.

I wanted to get a game manual printed up (300 pages). The local place wanted $0.60 per page. That's $180 for the manual. 🙁

We have to pay 5 cents a page for printing ant it gets billed to our student account and printing from "general account" is locked, so printing on school printers isn't an option.
 
Take it to Staples/OMAX/ODepot - if they have the capability to print off a disk directly to a copier, it'll be like $5-10 computer use fee + $.05-$.07 per page. To have it bound is anywhere from $1-$3.
 
I'll second the OMax/Staples/OD suggestion. Although I would suggest ponying up for a three ring binder and using it.... it tends to work better for class notes (especially if you flip through them a lot to study).

Sometimes the universities copy center will print things like that for a reasonable price.... you'd just have to check.

Staples:

$2.45 to open the document
99 cents per page.
Screw that

What a rip.

We have places in England that charge 5p per page that is 'alright'.

How much is the bookstore price?

At my College we have unlimited printer usage and no fees 😀. Well I am in the CS department but the other departments they have to have an account and top that up.

You need to call around and check another one - like I said, it's only if they have the capability to print directly to a copier. (Our store was setup to print to an inkjet - .99 per page) Check OMAX, Staples, Office Depot, and even Kinkos. You could also call up the store and specifically ask which one around you does that.

My thoughts exactly.

Or do it in the computer lab if you can print for free. Just print out like 5 pages at once so it's not so obvious you are printing a huge document.

Go to Kinko's Print-to-Kinkos and upload you doc. You can choose to have it stapled, binded, double or single sided, select the branch you want to print it to, choose to pay on-line or at the branch, wait 30mins and pick up your order.


Have fun!
