Divine ones,

this is kinda OT, but since i think/hope that i'm not the only one who has problems printing HTML-docs, i guess it kinda fits here.

once upon a time, i played around with "html2ps | ps2pdf", but the results weren't quite what i expected.
but now that mozilla's gotten that mature (and overall cool), i was just wondering if anybody knows a way to use mozilla's (very good) printing subsystem for this purpose from a perl scipt (or in any way).
i'm (trying to) code this report-generating system, and my clients want fancy tables, .pdfs, and all that stuff, and i simply refuse to believe that mozilla's code can't be re-used easily somwhow.

thanks for any hints,
-schweini
