I searched Google and found 2 packages (I'm not sure if they have any
relationship to each other or not):
html2ps-1.0b4.tar.gz html2ps_v202.zip
There were also a lot of PHP tools that are intended to be fed a URL and
convert it to PDF for you (not very useful when you are starting with an
HTML file already). The only problem I had with them was that they were
lacking in supporting some recent HTML functionality (like CLASSES).
I couldn't for the life of me find a version of the command line tools
that would properly deal with:

followed by:

later in the document and have the PDF do a proper page break....
