FWIW:   I use a 3-step process, in BL2.

1.  I use Phoenix to display the htm file (including graphics if present).
    Pressing "P" gives a short print dialogue: to printer or to file
    Choose "file" and edit the filename slot to give a mychoice.ps file.

2.  I use gs to view the .ps file, and see where the page-breaks fall.
    If necessary, I edit the original htm file (and repeat 1. above) to make 
each .ps-file page-break 
    fall at a convenient place (i.e. not in the middle of a paragraph).

3.  At the console (or in rxvt) I use ps2pdf to convert to the final .PDF 
file. 
    (type:  ps2pdf mychoice.ps mychoice.pdf)
    The .ps file is converted to .pdf with all the page-breaks intact.
    These .PDF files are supplied to my paying clients, so I find the quality 
is really quite good.

    (ps2pdf is part of  /ap1/ghostsrc.tgz in SW7)

Regards,
         Ron
