Amy, that is VERY cool and very useful! I look forward to more clothing
designs.

My problem is, the resulting GIF file won't print. If I just print the page
of stickers from my browser I get a tiny box with a red X in it - the
placeholder for an image that isn't there or can't be read (although the
screen shows the page image just fine), and if I save the page image and try
and print it from Paint Shop Pro, I get "an error has occurred while trying
to read from the file". Maybe the file is too big... no, it's tiny, only
1KB. Looks like it's not getting saved properly. I'm trying to print to an
Epson Stylus 640 under Win 95, browser is IE 5.5. When I look at the
properties of the page image in IE, I see only 17 bytes as the size, I think
it is looking at the page (ms.cgi?840492466) rather than the graphic and
that's what's getting saved.

(...) Ugh. Netscape does this, too. Seems they aren't able to save dynamically- generated images. I can't test the printing since I don't have my printer connected now, but I suspect it'll fail, too. A solution isn't volunteering itself tonight, so (...) (23 years ago, 26-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) [Snip] (...) Sounds like you are just saving a link to it. If you right click on the picture and select "Save Picture As..." it should work, it does for me. BTW. Very cool utility, any chance of giving out the information on what to supply to (...) (23 years ago, 26-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) I've fixed this now. Please let me know if it's working for you, and if you need to do anything special to get them to print the right size. Amy (23 years ago, 26-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
