Opera will save as HTML or plain text, but not as ps. To print webpages as 'root' with formatting and images, you would need Phoenix (or later incarnations) and use Ron's method to save as ps and then use gs's pstopdf etc. Firefox is rather slow on 200MHz computers even with 64MB RAM. Maybe there is some smaller program to convert html to ps?

In case Lee wants to convert PERL to bash script, or Ron wants to install PERL5 and try this script instead of Phoenix.

html2ps is a PERL 5 script.
Do perl scripts need compiling?

To produce pdf from ps use ghostscript's ps2pdf.
