Oops - re-reading properly this time what you said,
you want the rendered output of the page printed off.
Yeah, getting a simple HTML page and piping it to html2ps would be OK.
But anything complicated with frames...
Takes foot from mouth, but still says a search of CPAN is a good place
to start.



Then again:

html2ps http://www.slashdot.org > slashdot.ps  just worked for me!
The output is awful though - bit of a waste of time :-(
