Thanks, Ed.

I tried that and got a document that was much smaller than the original,
which I don't think is right,

a2ps -o sa.ps  Stoneage.html --pretty-print=html -Z
[Stoneage.html (html, delegated to Netscape): 1 page on 1 sheet]
[Total: 0 pages on 0 sheets] saved into the file `sa.ps'
~
ls -l Stoneage.html  sa.ps
-rw-rw----    1 tom    tom       88524 Aug  1 19:47 Stoneage.html
-rw-rw----    1 tom    tom       33256 Aug 19 18:37 sa.ps

and when I tried to open it in gv I got
this gs error:

-Error: /undefined in Go

----------------

The ps headers in the file don't look right either.

For some reason, a2ps isn't reading the html.ssh stylesheet.

Permissions problem? I guess I better look for a verbose or debug mode.

Does your /etc/a2ps.cfg have a LibraryPath assignment that looks like this:

LibraryPath: /usr/share/a2ps/sheets:/usr/share/a2ps/ps:/usr/share/a2ps/encoding:
/usr/share/a2ps/afm:/usr/share/ogonkify/afm:/usr/share/a2ps/ppd:/usr/share/a2ps/
fonts:/usr/share/ogonkify/fonts:/usr/share/a2ps
