I've done this on Windows for web pages that were IE only. It was a small PITA to get running (you have to install a driver to print to PDF files and there were some magic parameters that had to be set by hand in IE so that it would print to a file), but not that hard. What was hard was that it was unreliable, and every so often needed to be kicked. Which was OK since it was a batch process that produced a bunch of them that were stored as files. (I would NOT do this for an interactive web page!) I was very happy when those web pages got cleaned up so that we could switch to html2pdf instead.
