A method of printing a certificate purchased online, such as a printed ticket, directions, a food coupon, a parking pass, a merchandise coupon or other types of certificates (Fig. 7-9), may include purchasing at least one certificate across a computer network and printing the certificate onto the media using a desktop printer (Fig. 10). The media may be a sheet having a plurality of separate printing areas separated by lines of weakness (Fig. 5). In one embodiment of the media, a sheet has equally-sized printing areas separated into rows and columns by lines of weakness. In another embodiment of the invention, a consumer purchases one or more tickets across a computer network, and then prints the ticket or tickets using a desktop printer. The ticket may be printed onto a media having a ticket printing area defined on at least one edge by a line or weakness. In a particular way of implementing this embodiment, purchasing a ticket across a computer network can further include providing ticket selection information across the network from a computer and transmitting ticket printing information across the network back to the computer (Fig. 10).
