How to Create a Prn File From a Web Page

Making a .prn file from a web page is much easier than you may have assumed. After generating a .prn file, you may also produce a PDF out of the web page. This can be handy if you have written articles for the Web and you would like them to be part of your portfolio. Many people have authored many web pages at their previous job, and those pages could be sitting behind a firewall, making it impossible for prospective employers to see.

Instructions

1. Call up the desired web page. In the browser, select "File > Print."

2. 

   Watch for a window to pop up enabling you to print the file. On the right-hand side, you will see a check box beside the text "Print to file." Click inside the box.

3. 

   Click the "OK" button in the lower right-hand corner.

4. 

   Watch for a small window pop up. Since you are creating a new file, you need to assign it a name. You can name it anything you want, as long as the extension is .prn. For example, you can type: anything.prn into the field. Then click the "OK" button.

5. Look for a screen that will let you select a directory for your .prn file. Navigate to the directory you want, then click the "OK" button. You have now created your .prn file.
