the resulting GIF file won't print. If I just print the page

Shop Pro, I get "an error has occurred while trying to read from
the file"....Looks like it's not getting saved properly.

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 I'll have to think about this...

BTW, FWIW, I added some rainbow suspenders.

I have more info now. You can save the individual images from the setup page
(including the ones you've changed, which *are* dynamically-generated). I think
what's happening is that images generated by sending data via the POST method on
a form (if that means anything to you) can't be printed or saved. I can get
around this by sending data another way, but that'll have to wait 'til
tomorrow...
