Hotel wifi
Sorry I'm a pain today.
My BT speed is so low, (0.48) that I can't use links or print off the laptop, I just get a white screen. I have loads I must print such as boarding passes etc.
Blimmin Library closed today as well. I'm staying at a main Heathrow hotel who surely must have wifi. The question is, should I take my bulky printer or would such a place have facilities to print do you think?
I'm sure someone here must have experience of doing something similar.

Yearh bear, I'm of the silver surfer catching up!
Thanks. I don't care what it costs, just a holiday, the first in 13 years.
Can I call on you all from Sweden?
Haven't tried them but I've seen printing services at Edinburgh, Stansted and Luton. Think it was about £2 a sheet, might be worth googling your airport OP and see what facilities they list?
ETA: See it's Heathrow, looks like they have them: http://www.heathrowairport.com/heathrow-airport-guide/services-and-facilities/internet-access
You can probably use someone else's wifi (hotel, McDonalds, neighbour's wifi, parked outside someone's house, etc, bearing in mind some of these will be illegal to do) to access the boarding passes, then save them as PDF, and print them off on your printer at home.
If the hotel you mentioned is part of your trip, then I suppose you can bring a printer with you and leave it in the car if it's not needed. Just remember to bring all the leads needed. If you're going by bus or train however, then it will be a bit awkward...
At the airport, depending on the airline, there might be some time limit beyond which you can't print the boarding passes (eg. not within 4 hours of departure for Ryanair).
Some airlines may also accept a boarding pass displayed on a smart phone or tablet, from a saved PDF for example (not Ryanair though!).
If cost is no object, then the airline will probably sort out your boarding card at the airport, but subject to some penalty. Allow extra time for this.
