    Saving it to the Local disk is saving it to the hard drive (C:).

    The easiest way to determine what drive letter your flash drive WILL BE is to open My Computer.

    Take note of the listed drives, then insert your flash drive to a USB Port. You will see either a previous drive named 'Removable' change to a new letter, OR you will see a drive that was previously not there.

    Once you know the letter of the USB Drive, you can save to that drive or drag and drop into it.

    Repeat the process on the school computer.

    Good Luck

    When you go to save, go to My Computer and then look for the drive that your flash drive is located. It is usually named after the brand of the drive, like "Travel Drive" or "Removable Disk" or something. Just click there and press save!

    Then when you go the the library, plug it in and go to My Computer. Open your Drive and click on your file! Voila! Hope I helped!

    To make it easier for you. Plug in your USB. Please make sure that your computer recognize you USB. Then go to the drive where you originally save the file you want to print out then right click on it. Click on send to then select E drive or the name of your USB device. Hope this help.

    when you put the usb into the computer watch to see what it pops up as in your finder folder thing...than just drag it in or save it to that from your doc. program
