URGENT help please - Thalys Ticket - no printer!

Please can anyone help me - we are leaving early in the morning on a Thalys train for Amsterdam, and I am so dumb I did not realize the tickets I have are print at home, and we have no printer and there's nowhere around here to go print them out. Does anyone know if they will print for me at the station???? Please advise. Thanks.

Is there a hotel nearby? I did something similar last trip and pleaded with a desk clerk who graciously printed it up for me....Hope it all turns out well.

Definitely ask your hotel...I doubt you can print them at the station, Bihar would be my last resort!

Nothing like waiting until the last minute. This is 2012 how do you not have a printer?

We needed to print something last trip and the apartment we were renting had no printer [guessing this is your circumstance]. We went to a near by internet shop [in the 4th] and were able to print what we needed for a reasonable price. I had my netbook so all they needed to do was put what I needed on a jump drive and then put it in one of their computers and print it. I think I paid 1 euro or so.

Thanks for all the help! We decided to just go to the Mercure hotel across from Gare du Nord. They had us email them the tickets and very kindly printed them for us.
We did see kiosks in the station where you could print out tickets but you needed the European credit cards with the chip in them, although this led me to believe that perhaps they would have done it for us, who knows.
Thanks for all the responses!
