Be sure not to confuse Lynx's "Print" the _rendered/parsed_ document with
"Download" the _unaltered_ file (or almost unaltered, depending on the
protocol). Both functions have by default a Save option; the former has
"Save to a local file", and the latter "Save to disk". There is no single
print method, and most people have various kinds of methods defined. Besides
"saving", I personally have "viewing", "printing", "displaying" and "piping"
methods of various kinds available for "Printing" the document as Lynx
renders it. Likewise, I have various ways of handling a "Downloaded" file.
Look at the lynx.cfg file for how to add various methods for these two
operations.
