It is very convenient; you can email up to 50MB or send via their secure site if confidential information. They do a great job and will even pick up and deliver free of charge. They are much more affordable than our local printer. Julie K Yes we use Kinkos for larger documents.

I have a Canon MX850. It's one of those multi-function boat-anchor type things. It'll fax, print, scan, and copy, it'll print/scan/copy two-sided, has both a paper cassette and a rear hopper. It takes individual tanks for each color that are just ink like the Epsons, but you can replace the print head too. (You almost have to order that from Canon though..) It's got a document feeder that's not totally pathetic, and it uses the Mac's native Image Capture unlike the HPs. It's networkable, and reasonably cheap (because it's been replaced by a model that does all of this plus wifi..) If you don't need high volume output, it's probably cheaper in terms of your time to use a printer than to use FedEx No Longer Called Kinkos. Once you get to using your ScanSnap and working with PDF files (trivial for us Mac people, and not difficult for Windows people either with a PDF printer), you don't need a printer as often I agree—but you never know when you suddenly need a FAX machine or a photo scanner or a quick copy or, horrors, a printout.
