Does any one know how to get free printing, or anyway to trick the system?


Well, other than going up to the office upstairs in E wing and saying " I put in a $20.00 and it didn't deposit it into my printing account"

I needed to print out one page, and i didnt have 10 cents on me but only a 100.00 US bill, and no one will take it for change :S

P.S. I knew of a person in UofC a few years ago that always got free printing, so maybe thought this could also apply to MRC.

Only post if you have ideas.

With a BMW I thought for sure you could afford printing.

There used to be free printing in the O-wing buuuut we abused it and they took it away haha. Although its probably too late now, just go and ask people. Other students know what its like to be in a jam.

And for future reference, the print shop takes debit ;)

If you go to the computer hall in the bottom of eb right across from the starbucks there's a computer studies lab for computer studies students to print off for free, but if the lab tech asks just mention you are in some computer classes and you should be fine.

Mech engg isn't free, but we get a quota for 100 pages every semester I think.

Go to the "printer" where it's at the most crowded area, post up at "printer".Look in your wallet and say" For fuck sakes, where did my change go, How am I gonna live?" Then look to the person next you and say "Hey buddy, got spare change?" I have a printer myself, but it works for the homeless most of time.

Maybe talk to an IT guy... i know there are students that work at help desk, if you befriended one of them, i'm sure they could help.
