BA check-in procedures: can anyone reassure me on this?

We are due to go on holiday on a trip that involves returning to the UK from Europe on a BA flight. (For outward leg we are using a different airline.) I am used to flying with budget airlines and printing off all the boarding passes before we go. For the BA flight, check-in only opens 36 hours before flight departure, by which time we will already be away and won't have printing facilities. Does anyone know whether we can check in at a desk at the airport provided we have booking reference and the card used to book the flight? Also, I can't find anything asking us to enter Advance Passenger Information online, which I've always had to do when flying with other airlines, and I'm a bit concerned I may have somehow missed it, but perhaps BA just collect that information when you check in? Can anyone reassure me that all I need to do is turn up in good time at the airport with the booking reference and the card that I used to book the flights? It's just a bit different to what I've experienced before when flying, and I'm a bit paranoid about missing the flight because I've failed to do something I'm supposed to do!

We've just flown with BA. We had all the boarding cards on one phone, but when we got to the bag drop they printed us out a paper boarding card each. Said it was easier.
