I found these in Word Help (but I also have MSDN and Visual Studio loaded, which may have helped). I will agree that Word doesn't do that great of a job on HTML files - and can really bloat the source. I just thought it may give you better ideas for printing. HTML doesn't usually print at the b

Mark, there was a long thread about this as recently as last week in comp.databases.pick. The topic comes up every couple of weeks or months. There's lots of passion about various solutions, then the topic dies down again ... until someone brings it up again as though the question has never been a

A quick web search turns up this link http://user.it.uu.se/~jan/html2ps.html for an HTML to Postscript converter. It's written in perl & so should work on both Unix & Windows. If you have a PCL printer you could then add Ghostscript (also available for both platforms) to the print filters to con

Hi, There is a utility - html2ps - that will convert html to postscript that is available for *NIX systems. Don't know if there is Windows version. In any event it would be possible to setup a remote printq to spool a file to a Linux system with this utility. It works really well. Regards I

As you're on *nix you may be able to pipe the HTML output through an HTML renderer (like java jRex or Calpane. Other alternatives might be using Perl or the HTML text renderer Lynx) then to your printer. A quick google search shows there are several commercial products for this type of applicati

Mark In that case you would need a print driver for your platform (or a network printer) that understands and renders HTML on your printer. I am not aware of one - and it would be a significant effort so is there a market demand??. Most rendered (as opposed to tag level) HTML printing is accompl
