I'm not sure if many places will print the RAW files . Adoramapix (who I recently had a stack of 11x14s printed from) only accept JPG and TIFF files. And mpix, I'm not sure, but from what I was just looking at they don't appear to accept RAW files either. I'm sure this is because those RAW files really aren't in print quality shape and depending on what RAW converter you open it in, it can have different results. So yes, I print, and yes I save to jpg so that I can upload them to the online printers. Aside from that, the reason I save as jpg isn't to save space (in fact, it doesn't save space for me at all since I keep my original RAW files as well as the jpgs). It's simply because that's a format that I can either put up online or send to a printer.
