'cos I've got PHP running as an Apache module, so I have to invoke the
webserver to generate the html page from the PHP source - hope that answers
your question. There are other tools I could use (wget, or lynx -dump, or
even sock <myscript.input) but I find curl works well, and I'm already
using it for other stuff.

                /* curl | htmldoc | lpr */
                $exstr="/usr/local/bin/curl -s \"http://localhost$url\" | ";
                $exstr=$exstr . "/usr/bin/htmldoc --no-title --no-toc
--size a4 --fontsize 9 -t ps - | ";
                $exstr=$exstr . "lpr -Phplaser ";
                exec($exstr);
                print "Should have generated and printed report on
<em>hplaser</em>";
