[GRLUG] Printing HTML emails from the command line

[Godwin]

Wow, I just tried both commands:

nas1:~# html2text http://userpages.umbc.edu/~ian/procmail.html |lpr
nas1:~# html2ps http://userpages.umbc.edu/~ian/procmail.html |lpr

The "html2ps" produced a much, much nicer output on an HP Laserjet 9000.
