An information processing device prints a link source webpage and a link target webpage so that (i) it is easy to grasp, from a printout of these webpages, that these webpages are associated with each other, and (ii) the printout can be easily organized. MFP displays a webpage using a web browser, stores image data of the webpage currently displayed, and detects whether this webpage has been switched to another webpage upon a user operation (e.g., a click operation). Upon this page switch, MFP stores image data of the other webpage, which is now currently displayed. When a print instruction is issued, MFP enlarges/reduces images of the webpages previously and currently displayed so they can be printed on the same sheet in proper sizes, generates a print image showing the enlarged/reduced images of these webpages, and prints the generated print image.
