you have a Digital Camera + Printer?

I was supposed to photocopy these housing contract forms for the school and send it in..but I don't have a copier, and don't want to go to a copy place to get it done..so I took a picture with my camera and printed it out. The quality is just a little worse than the actual copy (on carbon paper)..as could be expected, but it's completely readable and basically looks like I used a really crappy copier on the lowest setting.

But the effort of having to walk all the way down into my town, wait in line for some dumbass who doesn't know how to use the machine, pull out the correct change, make the copies, and walk back is saved :)

Got to think of the opportunity costs.

Some digital cameras have "copier" mode and it works amazingly well. With that kind of camera, you really don't need a copier.

I like to use my scanner + laser printer... Though, I really wish I would have bought one of the scanners that has an assignable button on it. Then, I'd be able to instantly copy instead of having to open the software.

Assignable buttons are cheaper than ink.
