With one caveat: I've tried to do this before and they wouldn't scale
anything without charging extra for their office staff in changing
stuff. It was a hefty charge, too. But they would print out anything
that would fit on their printers and was already set to the right size
in the file that you take them.

So just find out what their maximum capacity is and set up the file
beforehand. For some reason I went in there with a file set up for
large paper, but not to their max, since I didn't know what that was
and I thought that they could just issue a command to scale it up,
like a copier can automatically do, but no dice.
