the only way to view it correctly is with powerpoint.

here is a link to down the free powerpoint (http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/Ppview97.aspx) viewer.

don't know if this will allow you to print the file but i suspect not.
it's free so give it a try. :D

on further reading it DOES say "Supports printing of PowerPoint presentations."

so maybe it's all you'll need

Or download Open Office (http://www.openoffice.com) , it's a free office suite and includes a program called impress which can open or edit .ppt files
