But my Lynx, 2.8.6dev.17, at least as I have it configured,
doesn't present either the printer options or the downloader
options menu until Lynx displays the file or fully stages
it to /tmp; hardly useful for streaming, where the server
never closes the connection.

Is there a configuration option I'm unaware of, to select
the printer/downloader before transfer starts?  I can
start another Lynx, with the "-source" option, and pipe
that into my viewer, but that's pretty cumbersome.
