lynx-dev looking for alternative method for printing a web page

[Larry W. Virden]

This msg is a tip as well as a request.

The tip is this.  For those of you on Unix, with the addition of a few
programs, you can get very nice output from lynx.  To do this, you need

1. perl <URL:http://www.perl.com/>
2. ImageMagick <URL:http://www.wizards.dupont.com/cristy/ImageMagick.html>
3. html2ps.pl <URL:http://www.tdb.uu.se/~jan/html2ps.html>

I _think_ that's all you need <grin>

Anyways, with the above, I then set this up in my lynx.cfg

DOWNLOADER:html default printer:file="%s";prthtml %s "$file":FALSE

$ cat $HOME/bin/prthtml
#!/bin/ksh
html2ps -n -x 1 "$2" | lpr -o duplex -J"$1"


Now, when I want to print a page, I tell lynx to download it using the 'd'
subcommand, then when I am asked whether I want to save it, I select the
"html default printer" option.  html2ps is invoked, and read the HTML,
retrieves the images, and prints things.  If you've a color postscript
printer, you can set things up to get color output!

Now, what I would _really_ like to do is to type a command to lynx to
tell it to take the html for the currently displayed page and feed it to
prthtml .

Anyone know what could be done to do this?  Sometimes it is less convenient
to back out of the current page .  

Thanks and hope this was useful.
