images makes simple "cat $html" not work either, otherwise,
	cat $html | lpr -Ppostscriptprinter -

how about:

while ( have-html-pages ) {
  konqueror option-to-display-to-stdout http://any-web-page  \
	| lpr -Ppostscript -
}

ie .. let mozilla/konqueror/galeon do your rendering locally
   but to dump to STDOUT instead
