The book is laid out for the paper chosen above, and the print dialog will follow it, so pick the paper here rather than there. Turn background graphics on so the cover photograph prints, and leave margins at their default. The page numbers and the chapter running heads are drawn by the browser into the page margins, so they exist only on paper: check the print preview rather than this screen for them, and turn Headers and footers off there so Chrome's own furniture does not crowd them out. Chrome and Edge print them, Safari and Firefox print the same book without them.

Purchased the plans

I purchased the plans today. Not sure when the building will start, but I hope it is some time by the end of this year or the start of the next. The first step is going to be getting the dedicated shop space.

Good luck on the build!
