Yeah - tha's why I suggested using word to print HTML documents.
Because Word or PDF *binaries* are too proprietary.
But since Word is an easy interface to HTML, and PDF has almost *nothing* to
do with HTML, Word is the obvious choice as a web-based print interface.

So what you're saying here is that there is no solution.
That leads the problem-solver in me to ask - what program comes the closest
to being a good HTML Print interface.
The answer, of course, is MS Word.

Wow - that sentence is so disjointed.
But hey - I'm having fun, so here's a clue for you:
I picked up useful information... and provided some.
I even picked up and disseminated some useless info... and am.

As both the alpha and the omega - there is nothing of which I am unaware.
