As long as you are printing the material for your own use, yes you can get it printed at a professional store (Staples, Kinkos, etc). You cannot print multiple copies of Paizo, watermarked pdf's and distribute them to your friends or other gamers. That violates copyright. There are a few exceptions based on the nature of the material, such as chronicle sheets, the "One Sheet," and partial prints like player handouts from society scenarios, which are intended to be distributed.

Some places might demand proof of permission. A printed copy of this should help.
I work at a Staples Copy Center and keep a copy of that FAQ on file just in case. I've used it for scenarios, Chronicle sheets, and occasionally larger size maps if my GM didn't feel like drawing it.
If you are the coordinator of an event you can print out as many copies of the scenarios as needed, then loan them to the GMs, but they cannot keep them and must give the copies back to you at the end of the event. I am pretty sure this is not printed in the Guide, but it has been stated in threads several times by the folks in charge.

I recall reading this as well. Do to the nature of copyright rules, I would suggest that it be explicitly stated in the next PFS Guide so we have an "official" document from Paizo legally permitting the practice to occur.

I have had several people ask this one.

I would like to go to a local Copy Center and have a printed copy of a map from one of the scenarios (actually from First Steps... I want the Pelican printed on a nice showy map) printed up for me. I could chop it up and print it on little sheets and tape them together... but I'm looking for something nicer than that. SO....
What FAQ is I.Malachi talking about above? I clinked his link, but failed to find anything talking about printing anything....
Try this direct link
Note that that link is only for printing a single copy, not for organizers/coordinators printing multiple copies to lend to GMs.
