    As in send it to a printer? No, as there are no printer drivers in the BIOS. I reckon you could do it if you ran it in a VM though. That's mere speculation on my part though.

    Edit: is there a reason you want to print your BIOS pages? :) You could use a camera, photograph it then print the photos? Just an idle thought knocking about in my brain lol

    VM doesn't reflect you own BIOS..it is using it's own BIOS system.

    The easiest way is pull out a camera and take pictures.

    I don't know if BIOS still do this... but back in the day if you pressed print screen while in the BIOS the computer would send the ASCII that made up the BIOS screen to the parralel port... if you had a printer that was simple enough to accept ACSII and just start printing it... it would print approximately what was currently on the screen.

    TL;DR: Get a camera.

    There are programs that run your bios file in a VM - I had one but can't remember the name! Used it for bios hack testing :)
