All your legacy programs would now generate HTML code and you only had to make sure the output goes into a file and print the generated file with something like shellExecute().

HTML is a nightmare for this - the page rendering is all relative and resolved at print time, and will vary according to the perceived resolution and page definition of the printer - there's no such thing as page sizing, tray selection, ad nauseum. PostScript or Adobe PDF is far more universal and consistent.
