Are there places like Kinko's (there are no Kinko's where I am) that provide PCs where you can work (not play games), edit and print documents (black and white, and color), and so on?

i dont know what kinko's is

but

there are quite a few pc bangs that have printers or a printer, i am in one right now which has quiet booths seperated from the main area

i would suggest walk around and find a classy lookin pc bang and check it out...unless someone can suggest a chain.... assuming you live in a town there should be 5 or 6 within short walking distance from your house right?

I think it's FedEx-Kinko's, technically. They're a chain of stores that provide printing, copying, and shipping services. They usually have a section with PCs you can use (by the hour) that have document and graphics software and fancy printers. In the U.S. (and I think in some of the ones in Seoul) they also make signage and posters and offer framing/mounting services.

I just want somewhere to edit and print Word docs and color graphics. There are plenty o' PC bangs around, I've never seen one with a printer but I'll check around.

Some PC-Bangs DO have printers, etc. You have to ask around. Some of them have scanners as well.

Regarding KINKOS, yes, there are quite a few of them around. There is one right next to Hongik University subway station. I've seen quite a few around the city as well, but couldn't be specific about the others.

There are lots of places but without knowing (at least in a general area) where you are it is hard to tell you where to go.

Most towns have a copy center / kiwk copy / print shop that can assist you if your local PC bang doesn't have the software you need or a printer and scanner you can use.

There are usually lots of print/copy shops near universities. They let me work on the computers and print....much cheaper than Kinkos.
