The OP could have helped a lot by specifying what operating system is
running on the host computer, I suppose.

Not necessary if people have the ability to check message headers.
Yours shows "User-Agent: Unison/1.7.8" but as I'm not familiar with
that, I wouldn't know what OS you use. The OP on the other hand has
this header: "User-Agent: Thoth/1.8.3 (Carbon/OS X)". I'm also not
familiar with Thoth, but Carbon/OS X is a mighty big clue.

Unison and Thoth are both Mac OSX (Thoth is based [long ago] on
Newswatcher by John Norstad(?), and Unison is a relative newcomer), but
you can't necessarily make any ass/u/mtions about what system he's
going to be using for the process simply from what computer he is using
to access usenet - Likely it would be the same, but he might also be
doing it from work or elsewhere where they might have a different
system.

That's why it's always best for a poster such as that to specify his
system (and other mitigating info) when he asks specific "how do I...?"
questions.

Very true. But assuming that the host computer will be the same
one that was used to post the OP's message is a reasonable
assumption, unless the header shows WebTV. Almost a day after
JR's post, the OP added that after distribution, the files to be
printed/viewed could end up on any type of system, but that was
implied in the thread's Subject as well as stated in the OP, so what
system is used by the OP is pretty much irrelevant.

Actually, that was in the OP's original post:

I have to take a digital photograph of a page (US letter size, mostly

people who for viewing and printing on both Macs and PC's.

I do not have any way to know who will have what software installed on
their computer, so I must assume a basic generic setup.

Oops, sorry, misread your note, I thought you were saying that it
wasn't clear from the OP that he wanted to do such. My misreading
comprehension problem. Sorry.
