printing

It was a horrible evening. If I had known I would have run the errands earlier. Here's what I needed to do: some printing, and photocopying. Simple, right? So I headed out to a local stationary store to get some paper for printing. That went smoothly. Next, I went to the internet cafe opposite to it to print out some documents which would need to be photocopied. The operator told me the printer only prints color copies. I figured no big deal. There are a few internet cafes in the town, so I went to another one. I went in and the guy apologized saying some technical issues causing the printer down. No sweat. I drove to another cafe and still no printing service. I started to panic because there was only one more left. You guess it. The printer was down too.


Are there any mistakes?

Thanks.

Thanks, MM. What do you call kinko's staff? I guess we can call an internet cafe's staff by the same name.

1, Is there any difference between opposite it and across the street?

2. What's the difference between several and a few? I thought they were interchangeable.
