Hi,

A quick search at http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/cgi-bin/search came up with html2ps and htmldoc which both convert html to PostScript output which could then be fed into lp.

regards,
Darren.

Check the network printer for the availability of Postscript. Postscript is not always available on a majority of printers. HP printers are ASCII (not Postscript) with enhancements like fonts and graphics enabled by the use of escape sequences. These enhancements are called Printer Control Language or PCL. Many HP laser printers have an option to install a Postscript module.
