Some (all? most?) versions or *nix Netscape allow remote control. You start netscape with the "-remote" option. You could probably generate Postscript as Corion suggests with the commands openURL() and saveAs(). I have not tried that particular combination. See this for more information.

Another option would be to get the Mozilla source and modify it directly or see if something in the source allows what you want.

Finally, building on what PodMaster said, there is a tkHTML widget here, but I do not know if there is a perl binding, yet. I have not played with it at all.
