Check out the 'html2ps' package. You should be able to use wget or links -dump or whatever to grab the .html, then use html2ps to covert to ..ps. I don't know if you can use a .ps as a background image, but I'm sure you can convert .ps to .jpg pretty easily using like ImageMagick or something. Note that I haven't used html2ps - I only just found in using an apt-cache search. -Jason -- Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wonka.hampshire.edu/~jason GPG key - 0EFB1DFE
