How to get a free thermal printer from UPS, FedEx, or USPS?

Thermal printers can be a high expense for small businesses but also a huge necessity at the same time. For those who cannot afford to get one on their own, there are ways to get the benefits of a thermal printer at little or no cost. Here are some ways to get yourself a free thermal printer.

UPS offers a free Zebra LP 2844 printer either free of charge or for the nominal amount of $2 per month. On top of that you also get free printing supplies which will save even more money. The Zebra LP 2844 is a great thermal printer that will serve its purpose especially since it is free. It does not have any special features like the FreeX WiFi SuperRoll Thermal Printer like being wireless, but it does the job.
