Can I print/fax things at a PC bang? If so, is it expensive?

Print, yes. it was 50 won at my local PC bang. i don't know about faxes though.

I'm not a PC Bang regular, only used them in a pinch (internet's down at home or office, traveling around or outside the city). Fax machines I have not noticed. Printers are hit and miss -- some have a newish working model, others have an old clunker with no ink and 2 years of dust, grime and cigarette tar.

Any decent stationers will send faxes (one near my home charges 500W/page) and do modest print jobs for you (can't recall the price, but I would guess at least 100W/page). Well-lit, smoke-free and comparatively quiet, but a bit of a fuss -- you hand them your doc or USB device and they print/fax it, they're not letting you leap over the counter and hop on their computer.

Thanks Guru. What do you mean by "stationers?" A place like Morning Glory but smaller/bigger? An actual stationary store? I don't want to go to Kinko's because I have a feeling it will be expensive.

I had some faxing done at Morning Glory, so probably any store like that could do it. I was faxing something to the US, and I thought it was pretty expensive. (Do the rates go up if you're faxing something internationally?) Anyway, Morning Glory or Alpha can do it. I normally out-pleasant my normally pleasant self when it looks like I need to send a fax or two, and the secretary at school lets me do it there.

you can get programs to fax over the internet...
