Abstract
A URL page is printed by a computing system. When a reference to a URL address is dragged and dropped upon a print icon, the URL page is accessed from the Internet. The URL page is then printed on a printer. When the URL page is accessed and printed, the URL page is not displayed to a user of the computing system. Also, when a reference to the URL address for the URL page is dragged and dropped upon a desktop for a computing system, a special icon representing the URL page address is created on the desktop. Upon a user performing a function to activate the special icon, the URL page is printed.
