I take my Scribus file (11"x17" size document saved on a CD) into Kinko's copy 
center. They have a section of self serve computers (both Windows and Mac) 
that you can rent time on. I want to print out my Scribus document on their 
B&W laser printer because it can print out 11" x 17" size prints. I have my 
document in pdf format with the fonts embedded. Which software would I use to 
accomplish this printing? 

This is a self serve shop and they don't have Scribus installed on any of 
their computers. They do have Photoshop, Corel, Pagemaker, Acrobat, and 
several other Windows/Mac titles.

Thanks,
Wayne
