The printout isn't really crucially important; it could as well contain
just the names.
What you _really_ need to do beforehand:
* Download the file.
* Compute the checksums.
* Verify that your fingerprint as it is in the file is, indeed, the
fingerprint of your key.
* Bring a list of names, and the checksums as you computed them. Since
the file is written in the correct format, you could use that one.
On the keysigning party itself:
* Someone will read the checksums aloud. Verify that you have the exact
same checksums (If you don't, you're out of luck...)
* Next, we'll line up so that everyone will have a chance to meet up
with someone else.
* Show your proof of ID
* Say something akin to 'yes, my fingerprint as it is listed in the
file of which the checksums were just read is correct -- and yes, I
have the same checksums'
* The other person will testify similarly. After hearing that and
verifying his ID, wheck his or her name on your list of names.
* Move on to the next person.
That's the whole story, really.
