Please, give me an example. -victor 'cos I've got PHP running as an Apache module, so I have to invoke the webserver to generate the html page from the PHP source - hope that answers your question. There are other tools I could use (wget, or lynx -dump, or even sock <myscript.input) but I find curl works well, and I'm already using it for other stuff. /* curl | htmldoc | lpr */ $exstr="/usr/local/bin/curl -s \"http://localhost$url\" | "; $exstr=$exstr . "/usr/bin/htmldoc --no-title --no-toc --size a4 --fontsize 9 -t ps - | "; $exstr=$exstr . "lpr -Phplaser "; exec($exstr); print "Should have generated and printed report on <em>hplaser</em>"; HTH Colin
