If you have html2latex (it's not on the Mandrake CDs but can be 
downloaded - you will also need a couple of Perl modules like 
HTML::Tree, which are also easily downloadable) you can either import 
the file into LyX (better if you want to edit it) or run html2latex from 
the command line, then run latex on the resulting .tex file, then dvips 
on the resulting .dvi file, then you end up with a nice printable .ps file.

Apologies for the syntax of the last sentence!
