The tricky thing about all of this is getting things like tables
and inline images layed out nicely.  Commercial browsers have spent
a lot of time and other resources getting this just right.  So it
seems unlikely that you're going to find a scripted solution (using
something like perl) which does a really stellar job of formatting
HTML.

You might want to take a look at Mozilla.  I have no idea if it can be
operated in non-gui mode (without modification), but the source code
is available and it seems to me that it wouldn't be too hard to modify
it to simply take a URL, format the page and save it as postscript.
Also, I think the quality of output will be quite good.
