This "solution" may not be what the original poster had in mind, but OpenOffice.org "Writer" will read and print html files! In fact, so will Kword and AbiWord claims to be able to open them too. I just checked here, and the best rendering, IMHO, was done by the OpenOffice.org program. My install of AbiWord refused to open the test document. The neat thing about this method is that you can use the word processor to clean up any formatting problems you might have before printing.
