Hi Monks,

I have a simple request to find the number of pages it will require to print an HTML page.

I explored the print option of Internet Explorer a little bit and I can do page setup with variety of option including paper size, margin, header, footer etc..
Also explored the 'print' modules from CPAN such as printer and Net::Printer but not helpful in this case.

I have to find the number of pages it will take to print in 'proportional font' such as ariel where width of 'i' is not same as 'w'. Also have to find out for different font size, left margin, different paper sizes etc..

Notice that Internet Explorer (version 6.0) has 'print preview' function which also tells you how many pages in total it will take.
Aware of that 'number of pages' "may" change with printer model and print driver.
Please suggest appropriates.

Thanks,
Aritst.
