When paying on line, I *always* print the important things while they are

either save the page as HTML, or print to a _file_: create a dummy
postscript printer and click "print to file" checkbox. then you will be
prompted for a filename. the postscript file will contain the exact
printable copy. you can convert this format to PDF, which is best for
printing and archiving. search for "ps2pdf" utility online.

saving as images is a pain with long pages. this also leaves you with
low resolution and raster files are larger than text ones. you also get
decoration around the actual text you need. saving HTML won't work every
time (always check what you have just saved) and may look different when
printed later.

PS/PDF is as close to the hard copy as you can get. it is essentially a
hard copy without paper. 8)

Why not just print to PDF rather than going through all the rigmarol
of adding dummy printers, converting files etc..?
