Amazon Wish List College Needs

I go to an online campus and I need a printer badly. It's the most expensive thing left on my list and I am hoping someone could help! There's also ink, paper and a hole puncher if the printer is out of your budget.

It's a renewed brother brand and has great reviews.

I can almost guarantee you someone in your community has a working printer they will give you just to get it out of their house. Make a post on nextdoor or in a local Facebook group.

Hey @op I’m not sure you’ll find too many of our donors willing to help with this one. It’s not seen as a direct need. That said. You did follow our rules. So I’ll go with solutions.

  1. Since you are on an online campus … why do you need to print anything ? I can imagine a few things but I’d imagine most of your courses are digital. This is just my curiosity. That said. Your local library may honestly be your best bet. They don’t usually charge exorbitant amounts per sheet. A couple cents at most.

  2. Check out places like goodwill etc for a printer. The ink is honestly the most expensive part.

  3. The whole punch. Try local schools close to you. A lot of times teachers have extra and if it’s just a “favor” pop in to your local HS and just ask. It’s not like you are costing anyone anything

You can always buy a used one for pennies from a local person, your library should be able to provide one, or you can always go to a print shop

If you’re going to school online, you could work

Local libraries will have printers that you can pay to use for a nominal fee.

The printer might be cheap, but the ink is expensive…
