It does when I print through firefox. I think I have 2 options here. I can convert these dynamic HTML pages to static as needed, and then convert those static pages to PDF for printing. Alternatively, Is there any way to print parsed HTML with something like lpr? The other option would be to build the PDFs directly from my data with something like PDF::Create or PDF::API2. Has anyone used a perl module like that? - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
