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?
