Slow Computers and Inkless Printers

I want to print up my resumé. This should be simple, yes? No. My printer is out of ink (I can't afford ink right now, hence printing up a resumé to get a job).

What is to be done? Well, use another person's printer!

Attempt 1: Email document to other computer to print.
Fail. Different word progam, meaning different font, meaning the entire resumé's appearance falls apart.

Attempt 2: Allow sharing on the printer, so I can directly print from my computer to the other printer without installing.
Fail. My computer will not locate the other printer.

Attempt 3: Look for disc to install printer onto my computer.
Fail. No further explanation required.

Attempt 4: Use another computer with the same program.
Fail.
a. Computer too slow.
b. Program, though the same as mine, does not have the correct font. (WTF?!)

Attempt 5: Update program, with hope that the new one will have my font.
Fail.
a. Computer too slow.
b. Program still does not have the correct font. (WTF??!!)

Attempt 6: Tomorrow.

Anticipated result: Death.

Yes, well.

I found a nice enough font. It may not be David, but .. wait, what is it called? Oh well. It's nice.
