need to retrieve council minutes that went to a .prn file by accident
in may i was getting ready to print my 'minutes' from council meeting and i had failed to connect the printer to my laptop, so as i was talking on the phone i hit 'ok' to (print to prn), i dont know what a prn file is really but my auditor wants those minutes
and i always throw away the handwritten copy. thanks for any help you can give me on this. not even too sure if this is a question to ask on this site, if not please advise. my laptop is hp notebook, operating system is windows 7. thanks so much !

Hopefully, the .prn file was formatted correctly for your printer. After connecting your printer, try following the directions at:

You can also try to open the file in wordpad or Notepad and you should see the text with a lot of printer command gibberish and you might be able to salvage the text.
