I was on my wife's Health Insurance web site (Fidelity) and found her
"Claims Activity" link. That goes to a HUGE List (she had cancer)
which
has a "Print" button. Clicking THAT sends me to the print Options.
One "Option" is - PRINT TO FILE.
Here is the problem . . . . . WHERE does the file get printed to ?
NO choices are given to place - just File Name....
Looking for information on this on Google just brings up ALL SORTS of
Gobble-De-Gook ! One opinion after another ! Mostly rubbish.
Searching for the file name gets me no-where !
Can someone point me in the right direction ? I know it is OFF TOPIC.
Sorry for that !

Note - I Googled what "MicroSoft XPS Document Writer" is all about.
THAT is what you can use to "Print to File", but it saves in a
Non-Usable file
type that ONLY XPS Document Writer can open. Can't modify it or
convert it.
Typical MS proprietary BS - wizzing in the corners of their territory.
One Note 2016 seems to be an enigma.

Using SeaMonkey 2.49.5 on Windows 10.
I click File > Print.
The Print dialog opens with my default Brother HL-2040 series printer
selected.
I select "Print to file".
I click "OK".
I get a "Save Print Output As" window where I can select a folder where
I want to save the file. Currently it is the Downloads folder.
The "File name:" field is empty. I can type anything in there that I
want to call the file.
There is a "Save as type" drop down list under that with "Printer Files
(*prn) already selected.
If I click the selection I get an "All Files (*)" choice.
Selecting that I see all the files in my Downloads folder.
If I click on my printer name, there is a drop down with other print
formats I can select in this order.
Fax
Microsoft Print to PDF
Microsoft XPS Document Writer
One Note
Send to OneNote 2016
If I was printing to a file I would chose Microsoft Print to PDF,
because it will automatically select and add the .pdf file type to
whatever I name the file in the "File name:" field.
You may have to install the Adobe Reader DC application to open and read
the PDF files if you don't have a way to open them.

Make sure you get the right version for your operating system and
disable the installation of McAfee Safe Connect.
