So... mozilla has (by far) the best HTML->postscript conversion of any Unix
tool. It would be nice to be able to do something like "mozilla --print
source.html target.ps" and have mozilla render and generate a postscript file
from source.html, without having to bring up a window or even be running X. This
would allow (for example) the use of mozilla (or perhaps a new executable,
mozprint) as part of a script to generate printed versions of web pages for
documentation or things like that. Since there really aren't any other decent
tools for printing modern HTML (html2ps stinks), this would be a really useful
tool for the Unix community to have.

One note. Implementing this may involve some changes to the printing
interfaces. Right now the nsIDeviceSpecPS interface and the ndIDeviceSpecGTK (or
QT, or xlib, or whatever) interface are not completely independent as far as I
can tell. They would need to be in order for this to work without running X.
Ideally, the mozprint program should run on a machine without any graphics
toolkit or X to link against...

anybody working on this?

If someone were working on this:
1) They would have said so in the bug
2) There would be a target milestone
3) The bug status would almost certainly be "ASSIGNED"
4) There would almost certainly be no "helpwanted" keyword. That keyword
means "no one is interested in working on this; if you are, speak up."
So the answer is "No".

I would really like to have that feature.

Then you should convince (eg pay) someone to implement it. Complaining in the
bug won't accomplish that.

This and bug 100571 are requesting the same feature. That bug has some more
detailed discussion, so I'm resolving this one as a dup.
