thought this was easy, but it turns out to be not so obvious.
My problem:
I have a database with hour registration. I need to print out about
hundreds of pages and have them signed by employees. Of course I want
to do this automatically. Up to now I have a collection of html pages
(got them using wget). So the final thing I want is to print them all
out in one go.
How to do that?
I search for a command-line option to convert the html to pdf. Or have
firefox/konqueror print them directly without user intervention (there
is not a switch like "firefox --print <url>"). Note that the
pages are off-line, not on the server. The original pages can only
retrieved with after authorization. That's why I used wget with a saved
session cookie.
Anyone got an simple solution?
I have not tried this my self, but try using html2ps and ghostscript to
generate PDF's
htnl2ps is written ib Perl and can be found at
http://user.it.uu.se/~jan/html2ps.html
Syntax: is:
perl html2ps file.html > file.ps
You can script that through the collection of html files, optionally
pushing the postscript output through Ghostscript.
Thanks. This is what I need. I tried however, and just garbage came
out. Apparently the HTML is too complicated for this script.
