Deleting print job at Internet cafe

[Android Central Question]

I use Gmail on my Android tablet. I don't have a computer. I don't use thumb drives etc. I'm traveling and need to print 2 sensitive one-page documents at an Internet cafe.

Of course I'll change my password afterwards, but what steps are necessary at the Internet cafe to delete everything on their computer and their printer after printing?

Thank you!

The one thing i can think of is clear browser history, and sign out any accounts.

Depending on what they have installed on their pc (possibly malicious programs), and what you're allowed to access, and the fact you have no idea how secure or not their internet is, I would avoid it all together. FedEx or another well known place might be a better option. But I'm not the trusting type lol.

As others have mentioned, you might want to go to a Fed Ex center to get your printing done. Ever since it bought up Kinko's they're expanded their coverage quite a bit. Since you mentioned you're traveling, a lot of hotel/motel chains provide printing services for their customers so check if that's available where you're staying. Also a lot of local libraries and community centers will tech services available, although that's often restricted to local residents.
But basically, if those documents are 'sensitive' the last place you want to use is an Internet cafe with a public WiFi service. That's just not a secure environment.

I agree - sensitive documents probably shouldn't be printed at an 'internet cafe'. Once the print job is completed it's removed from the 'queue'. That queue, if for a local printer, is just a memory space which means a shutdown of the computer might suffice to completely clear it.

UPS also has stores that can do copying and printing so that would be another option. Your challenge becomes getting the files to them, I imagine you're not going to be comfortable sending them in an email, but if they're in cloud storage you could grant them access if they have an email address they can give you, then revoke that access after the printing is done.
