[Zope] Printing, let's try this again

[Phil Harris]

Tone,

Take a look at www.easysw.com/htmldoc.

Takes HTML and turns it into PDF.  Simple no f'in about.

Also you might want to take a look at html2ps and ps2pdf which uses
GhostScript to make PDF.

I've got a 'working' version of my XML to PDF which goes through XSL/htmldoc
to do the conversion.

HTH
