You could probably do this with a shell script that loads Konqueror with
the given URL and send it DCOP command(s) to print.

Can you expand on that? What are DCOP commands and how would I sent
them to Konqueror? Is this easy enough with, say, Perl?

Never mind, google is my friend. This looks like it might do th
etrick. I have to find some way of using DCOP to print to PDF, and I
have to worry about setting up a KDE environment, but it looks doable.

I tried, but it has too many deficiencies, and doesn't support
javascript. The pages don't render well enough.

I need to it run under program control, not a gui. I could do gui
with firefox.
