Yes, but why not just use PostScript, which is supported by FPDOS as well as the Win32 environment, and which can be ported to virtually any print environment using something like GhostScript?

>>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.
