Internet Drafts/RFCs: Free hard copies?
 

Is there some place one can order hard copies of Internet Drafts/RFCs? I know these are availible on the Internet, but I prefer hard copies rather than having to read them on a computer screen.

Umm, I know its a stretch but why not .... dadadadah! ... print them?

Well, printing 4-500 pages isn't very fun, and stapling them together is even lesser fun. :)

I am not aware of any organization that would be willing to incur the cost of printing out various RFC's, and then absorb the cost of mailing them out as well. Running such a service could very quickly turn into a very expensive proposition.

If you need a permanent copy of a document, then your best bet would be to just print it out yourself. If you don't need a permanent copy, then I'd suggest you just save it to disk, and refer to it as needed. The way I look at it, there's really no need to print out hundreds of sheets of paper just for a one-time reading. Just my 2 cents

Most copy places would do it I'm guessing. Just download it and put it on a floppy or CD for them, never hurts to ask.

I agree. But in this case I'm only printing out the most important RFCs, as I'm studying these in great detail.

I printed out the sheets myself, as this seemed to be the easiest approach (rather than taking them to a company of some kind) second to ordering copies over the net.

Anyways, thank for the replies.
