Hi,

Am I assuming correctly thet you want to remove all the html tags and print what is left?

If so, have a look at this thread here at LQ. It deals with stripping html code from files. Once you have a stripped version you can send it to the printer as you always do.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Open the file in your web browser, and clicking "print" not work?

You don't give many details, so it's hard to say. Do you want to print the raw HTML code, or the finished rendered page? Version/distro of Linux?

You did not answer the main question by TB0ne: Open the file in your web browser, and clicking "print" not work?. If you want to stick with the command line, take a look at html2ps, convert it to PostScript and print using the lpr command. Anyway, I would prefer the TBOne's advice, since it can easily resolve URLs for in-line images (if any).
