Typewriters

At work I have a USDA form with carbon copies, and the instructions state that everything has to be typed. What are my options? There's no typewriter on the premises, and no one in the company has a typewriter at home. Would print stores like Kinko's have one lying around for commercial use? Should I get the company to buy one off of Ebay? Any help appreciated.

    A dot matrix printer would work. I have a hard time believing they would need you to fill the form out on a typewriter... Are you able to get a digital copy and fill it in with Acrobat or something? What is this form for?

    yeah a dot matrix would do it. i have seen compays that give you carbon copy invoces and they still use them. the one problom tho is they always seem to have paper with printer feed holes.

    i take it your paper word dosent have that?

    There is also such a thing as a daisy wheel printer which is basically a electric typewriter without keyboard that connects to a computer. In other words it will look typed.

    Also any chance you can do the form by hand?

    Posting an ad in a computer market should be bring someone out that has a collection of old hardware that can help.
