The point is that imgext (or [mapext]) contain the extent space
delimited. These are not valid in an URL. You may either:

o Define the buttoon witin a seperate form:
        <form method=GET action=http://neptune/cgi-bin/mapserv3.5.exe>
        <input type="hidden" name="map" value="c:/demo/atlas/com.map">
        ...
        <input type="hidden" name="mapext" value="[mapext]">
        <input type="submit" value="Print-View">
        </form>

o Put it all in an URL and ensure encoding of these values, ie. [mapext_esc]:
        <a href="http://neptune/cgi-bin/mapserv3.5.exe?s=i&map=c:/demo/atlas/com.map&map_web_template=print.htm&mapsize=1024+745&mapext=[mapext_esc]">PrintView</a>
