Glenn,
 From the patent on the Google site, click the "View patent at USPTO" link 
below the patent summary on the left side of the screen.  That will take 
you to the patent office page for that patent.  On the page that comes up 
click on the "Images" to view the patent in a printable format.  If you 
don't already have it you need a special TIFF viewer to view and print the 
patents.  The viewer is free and works fine.  Go to the patent office home 
page and click on their link on how to view full page images to get the viewer.

Regards,
Larry Evans
