printing leaves much to be desired anyway. Content includes styled
text and images. I don't know ahead of time how much text will be
provided by the database or the sizes of any images which are served
by URLs. The final document can be of the order of 100-200 pages.

It might be too optimistic to convert your existing HTML to LaTeX, but
it might be worth a try.
