Question

I want to print styled html pages with their images from a script. Can anyone suggest an open-source solution?

I’m using linux (Ubuntu 8.04) but would be also be interested in solutions for other operating systems.

Answer 1

You could give html2ps a try, it is written in Perl, so I guess it wil run on any operating system that runs Perl. It does support CSS and images. It does not render as good as you may perhaps want.

To use in Debian/Ubuntu sudo aptitude install html2ps and then pipe the output to lpr to print:

html2ps \     http://stackoverflow.com/questions/286583 \     |lpr 

Or pipe the output to ps2pdf to convert to a pdf file:
