The easiest way to do that now is to put the documents you have just printed out (asuming they were OK) into a scanner then save as .tif or .jpg or whatever bitmap format you like so you can print it out on any printer. Then again, why would you want another copy?

If you still have access to the online forms then install a postscript pinter driver (e.g. from the HP laserjet family). When you print to file what you will have then is a file in EPS format (encapsulated postcript). If you use something like CorelDraw then you can import this EPS file as "postscript interpreted" and view it or print to any printer. I've done this before and it works a treat.
