    You are on the right path: wkhtmltopdf is the easiest way to do this. Note that the code in the repositories might be outdated (not sure how up-to date this package is); you may need to compile it from source, or get the statically-linked version (which is huge, but has the QT library and other dependencies already included).

    Also, in your case, you may just be missing a library – installing libqt4-webkit-dev might do the trick here.
