It’s also worth checking your local library which might offer some basic printing services. Could work out cheaper

    Yup, ours is $0.10 for B&W, and $0.25 for color. Computers are free (if you have a library card, which is free), and the staff is available to help you with whatever you need. I'm guessing they'd let you print for free if you really couldn't afford it.

    So your typical school essay would be $1 or so.

    Definitely look at the library. Mine allows me 20 free pages of B&W, or 10 pages of colour per month. After that it's $0.10 for B&W and $0.20 for colour. Pretty hard to justify actually buying a printer to myself at this point. Definitely not as convenient as having a unit at home, though.
