Please do not use 2.8.5 or anything older than
2.8.6 that is first thing you should do.
Why, because newer versions of lynx are better.

It is clear that lynx doesn't have any bug
relating with printing option 2 ie Mail the file
whatever version you use 2.8.x It is also clear
that lynx already have this feature, there is no
reason to wish something which is already
implemented.
If you do not have sendmail(1) on your system,
look in lynx.cfg and edit appropriate lines. If
you do not have such permision, to edit such file
ask your system administrator, or run lynx with
lynx -cfg=/path/to/your/configuration/file if
lynx does not allow -cfg switch, your at dead end
-> recompile your own version of lynx.
