Printing a web page:
There are several things to consider when attempting to print a page. First off, consider the amount of images and color on the page; the default of many printers is to print at a considerably high quality and in full-color. You may not wish to waste so much ink. Also, look around on the page when reading things such as articles; the website maintainer(s) may have provided a link to a "printer-friendly" version (this means that the graphics will be limited, and the text will be formatted in a more traditional manner). To print without changing any options, press the "Print" button in the standard buttons toolbar. To select printing options before actually printing, select File >> Print.

Saving a page:
There are several reasons why you may wish to save a website or page to your own computer. One of the more popular reasons is to simply view the coding that makes up the page, and learn new techniques. To save a web page select “File” >> “Save Page As.”

A new save-window will appear, asking where you would like to save the file, and in what format. “Web Page, complete” will save the entire current page, including images, in a new directory. “Web Page, HTML only” will save the entire current page as HTML coding which can be opened in any web browser. “Text File” will save the entire current page as only a text file.
