The digital PWF are provided as multiple page TIF files.  In order to view and print them you might need some additional software.  There are sites on the internet from which you can download software.  Some of the software is free or evaluated before you buy it. 

The Office of Geological Survey has tested several products and has found that either
v XnView ( www. xnview .com) or
v IrfanView ( www. irfanview .com )
would likely meet most, if not all, of your needs.  Both are free downloads.
