How to Convert XLS to PRN Files

1. Use Microsoft Excel to open the XLS file you want to convert.
2. Select Print from the File menu. Do not use the Print button on the toolbar because the toolbar button will bypass the print dialog window.
3. In the Print dialog window check the Print to file checkbox. Normally this checkbox is off, in which case Excel would print to the printer. Click the OK button.
4. In the Print to File dialog window type the Output file name. This will be the name of your file on the disk. Excel does not automatically add the '.prn' to the file name so you must type that in yourself; it will still be a PRN file even if you don't give it the '.prn' extension. Click the OK button. You now see a dialog window that tells you that you are printing; when that window disappears the conversion is complete.
