Hi,
I’m kind of in a jam, stores are closed and i need to scan something. I’m looking for someone who can print a 2 page document and scan it, and email me the image. I need this as soon as possible. If you can help me I will repay somehow.
Sure. Leave the document behind Cleopatra’s Needle in Central Park.
never helped anybody out eh? hope you get the same
People, myself included, think that you are making a joke, Zorro.
How cam it make sense to print and then scan an electronic document, convert it to an image, and then email it back to you?
On the off chance that you are asking in all seriousness, perhaps you can explain the problem more.

What makes you think it’s not serious?
Because so far it’s moronic?
I needed a scanned image of a printed document – printed on real paper, not a screenshot – but have neither a printer nor a scanner. So there’s
Why do you NEED a scanned image of a printed document? What possible solution does that provide? If you don’t have a printer how can printing then scanning then emailing you the scan help? Without a printer you now have two copies on your computer and still no way to get it to paper.
nothing to get paranoid about. Just a person asking for help, and the help needed was clearly explained.
If it were clearly explained people wouldn’t continue asking you to explain yourself. What you’ve requested does not solve your need of a hard copy.
Since days have passed from the time you originally posted this the mysterious ‘stores’ you mention have opened and closed at least once. Why haven’t you solved this yourself?

Why haven’t you solved this yourself?
wrong assumption again – the problem was solved days ago
Why do you NEED a scanned image of a printed document?
why does it matter what i need it for?
What possible solution does that provide?
just because you can’t think of it’s purpose doesn’t mean i don’t have one
if people would’ve just read carefully that one sentence:
– print a 2 page document
– scan it
– email me the image
let me explain in more detail
open document
menu->print
take paper out of printer place in scanner
menu->scan
email->attach->scan.jpg
send
what i need it for is besides the point!
if i had done this at the store, the clerk would not
have asked me why am i doing it for, or that it
doesn’t make sense to him
i was looking for plain and simple help, that’s all
not an interrogation.
– print a 2 page document
– scan it
– email me the image
thank you, you’re very kind
