If ya wanna go up the road with Win32::GuiTest, then this should be something for ya that makes it very simple. We open up the Internet Explorer print dialog box and now we just have to focus this and send it "ENTER" to start printing.
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
use Win32::GuiTest qw( WaitWindowLike SetForegroundWindow SendKeys
+ );
my $url = q(http://www.cnn.com);
my $fn = $ENV{TEMP}."\\test.html";
getstore ($url, $fn);
my $prg = qq(start rundll32 mshtml.dll,PrintHTML "$fn");
system $prg;
$_ = WaitWindowLike( 0, qr/Apply/i, undef , undef, undef, 10000)
+;
SetForegroundWindow($_);
SendKeys ("{ENTER}");
print "Printed ",-s $fn, " bytes from $url";
Switches to mshtml.dll
%1 - File to print
%2 - Printer-name
%3 - Printer driver
%4 - Printer port

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
