Print to File
Printing sophisticated documents, forms, outlines, tests, etc. on two different printers can produce different results. If your print at the college using a high-end printer and then try to print the document at home with a low-end printer, the printouts may be very different. There is a way to resolve this issue by printing to a file. Printing a document to a file instead of to your printer saves the document to a specific printer's properties.
Important: When you print to a file, you must first determine which printer will ultimately print the file.
Click File / Select Print
In the Name box, select the printer
(If you are working in your office double click Add Printer to locate the make/model of your home printer.
Follow the instructions of the Wizard)
Select the Print to file check box, and then click Print
