Mind you, this turns into a moderately complex set of filters:

Step 1: HTML via jadetex --> .tex
jadetex produces a .tex output file, using an HTML DTD as well as DSSSL
``rendering code.''

Step 2: TeX that --> .dvi
TeX uses the .tex file, as well as a format file to handle the Jadetex
macros...

Step 3: dvips --> Postscript
Requiring minimal "special configuration"

Step 4: ps --> whatever, using Ghostscript

Perhaps I should step back a step, and suggest that ``HTML-to-PS is
something that would be useful'' and not suggest too much about how it
ought to be implemented...

lynx -force_html -dump filename.html

I don't have lynx installed so I haven't tried it.
Check those args; I might have it wrong.

It would be rather nicer if <h1> text were rendered in a bold, large font,
<h2> in something somewhat smaller, if PNG/JPEG/GIF images would actually be
rendered as part of the document, and if you'd get reasonably attractive
output out of <table>s.

   That has the unfortunate effect that you don't get a terribly "pretty" set
   of output, merely "raw, slightly formatted text."

   It would be rather nicer if <h1> text were rendered in a bold, large font,
   <h2> in something somewhat smaller, if PNG/JPEG/GIF images would actually be
   rendered as part of the document, and if you'd get reasonably attractive
   output out of <table>s.

Why not use the html formatter for latex?  It seems like that would
produce nice-looking output, although I haven't tried it.  (I think
it's included with the tetex distribution).
