Status: offline 		YEA!!! I recieved my copy of UV today! Now I only have one problem...
How do you have the manual printed out at a printing shop if the UV manual is inexcessible except when UV is installed onto your computer? Am I going to have to burn the manual to a writeable CD, since the UV manual will not fit on a floppy disk? Tell me this isn't so! Hopefully I'm missing something. Any clearification would be appreciated. Thanks.

As for the print shop goes I live in NYC and its a $1 per page
in these parts so at a 130 pages thats not an option for me.
I finally got it done on a inkjet and $2.50 at staples for the binding. A hassle but Im all set.

Some printshops will even let you email it to them for an extra buck or 2

I took mine to Office Depot and at $.07 a page in black and white, very reasonable. I can print the color pages myself if I really want to...

Am I stupid or am I missing something here??

It works just fine on a color laser....

Just to check it out, I tried printing page 2 and got the same thing. I have a Brother laser printer.

Status: offline 		Whew! I went to [url]www.kinkos.com[/url] and uploaded the UV manual to their website. Now I'll be able to pick up my bound copy of the manual tomorrow morning and it only cost $14.85 US. Thanks for the idea Paul Vebber!
p.s. I called the local kinkos to make sure the background UV on each page wouldn't be a problem and they said it would print just fine.

Status: offline 		I have only had the game 4 hours and I am impressed with the manual. PDF was the way to go, keep doing them that way Matrix. If someone needs a high quality tree-killing, expensive paper manual instead of an interactive, high tech pdf version, go print it out. I probably will print out a b/w version at work, its too big to print on my home printer, that's ALOT of ink.

Someone said it is too big to fit on floppy or email - I copied the manual file to a RW CDROM and that way I can study it at work on my breaks on my work pc. :p

Thanks, never knew that about Adobe even though I've used it for years...

Status: offline 		Apparently it isn't meant to be. Kinkos cannot print the manual. I uploaded it twice, but for some reason they cannot print that format. The woman I spoke to at Kinkos said that she wasn't sure why it wouldn't work. Bummer. So much for having some good bathroom reading material!

Status: offline 		Hi Marc,
I'm not sure what the problem was, since the woman gave me such a convoluted reply. The manual worked fine on their computer, but then stopped printing on the copier after the first couple of pages. Does seem rather strange.

Status: offline 		Hi ccoul,
Did you upload the file on the internet to Kinkos or did you burn to a CD and take it there yourself? My brother has a disk burner maybe I could do it that way.

the total price was $14.38. Well worth it since my manual goes with me everywhere. :)

It is possible that the file upload didn´t work and the pdf file got corrupted during the transfer.

I think the best solution is to get it personally to a printer.

Hi. Well played. My Kinko's wants $150 for printing alone, I didn't ask about binding. Staples is in the same ball park. Similar prices for the other 12 print shops I called.

Please give me the telephone number or city where that Kinko is that charged $15 and took 15 minutes. Maybe I will drive there. :rolleyes:

Maybe I misunderstood something. I am asking for them to print out 137 color pages from 6 pdf files. Did you guys do B&W?

In the meantime I will try the kinkos.com web site. Maybe I will find some joy there. :)

UPDATE:

OK, Kinko's per page costs are as follows, 8 cents for B&W, 99 cents for color. That explains the difference between my quotes and your cost.

You guys opted for black and white copies. :eek:

Now the challenge. Where can I get a color paper version of this manual for about $15. Anybody?
