Go to 'Returns and Orders' (top right of most Amazon screens when logged
in), find the item, click on 'return' (the wording changes slightly based
on status, probably a white or yellow button on the RHS), and then see what it says inside.
For a completed return from December the button is 'View return/refund status' and there's a fold-down for 'Participating Evri Return
Instructions'.

Yes, essentially. The couple of times I've returned stuff to Amazon, they (amazon) guide me to print out a returns label, and IIRC there's a choice of courier. I then drop it off either at the Post Office (Royal Mail) or at some store which hosts pickup for the courier. They scan it and then I bugger off home.

It seems that some customers must find printing a label beyond them.
When I returned an item a couple of weeks ago, printing a label wasn't

We've had 4, but serially rather than all at once. The first few tended to blow their PS after a small (3? 4?) number of years so this time we shelled out a few more notes for a Canon G6050. Now, after more than four years without needing to, I've just refilled the tank with black ink. The colours look like they'll do for another year.
Since this is a machine with tanks with what might be termed infrequent refill
requirements, I don't mind buying Canon inks rather than compatibles.

Particularly when the battery has run down. My wife has seen this
happen twice on trains, when the inspector arrived in the carriage.
Whether they were genuine phone problems or not we do not know, but
I've seen peoples' phones run down in less stressful situations.

Crosswords are a lot easier when you have some “scribble space”. ;-) Our printer’s main use is for printing our crosswords these days. I also still prefer a hard copy of some documents when travelling as phone batteries and/or their internet connections are never 100% trustworthy.
I do acknowledge that’s it’s a bit of an age thing. Neither of my daughters
have one.

No. I still have uses for mine. I admit that a full 'I only have a
mobile' person can probably just about get by without one
Most of the time. That kind of person usually does not see the need to
take a screen shot of a must-have document, which at least guards
against loss of signal. It's not going to be easy to display an online
ticket while underground, even the Elizabeth Line doesn't have mobile repeaters.
While sitting in the cafe of a park, some months ago, my son queried
why I have coins in my pocket. He does not even carry notes.
An hour later we were in a different park, where parking payment was by
phone or... coins. Fortunately I had enough for both of us, and the 'I
told you so' just hung implicitly in the air, I didn't say anything.

I have just downloaded a council form (for interment of my S-I-L's ashes

Gimp will export the downloaded pages as e.g. png. Import those into
Scribus as images, and then use text boxes over the top to create an email-able multi-page PDF.
Cost less than buying a printer and scanner

Depends what you mean by non-editable?
Some use what is basically an honour system "don't edit/print/save" flag
some files are secured/encrypted and need a password to unlock
or (as I think the O/P meant) the file might be one big image per page,
but you can overlay text fields onto it.

And how are you going to print sticky labels for your tool cabinets?
Label maker machine, obvs. Available from the bay of Ali for a few yuan.
One day I'll splash out on the one that prints heatshrink so I can label all my wires.

it's a whole lot easier to just print, fill by hand andMy solicitor sent me a document by post with dithered grey backgrounds,
scan, instead of lining up multiple text text boxes and filling them in.

I have just downloaded a council form (for interment of my S-I-L's
ashes in her parents grave), that is clearly a non-editable scan,
that has to be filled in and signed by hand and then either posted
or scanned and emailed.

I have been known to print out the form, fill it in and sign it, then
scan it and send the scan back as an email attachment.

by the time that was filled-in/scanned it was so big their email system wouldn't accept it back as an attachment.
don't yu know how to shrink a pdf size?Dithering really messes up bitmap compression, yes using a threshold

I didn't know about the PDF edit functionality until yesterday, when
someone mentioned it was a new feature in v135, but on checking, someone
else clarified that it's actually been a feature since v106.
Clearly it's not for proof-reading War and Peace, but I can see me using
it for cases where I just need to sign&date something, instead of having
to launch FoxIt
