If I understand you correctly, you want to _print_ the HTML code (?).  Okay,
to each his own I guess, but here's one way to do it: Under nutscrape, hit
File->Save As.  Then save the file to some temporary file (foo.html would be
my choice).  Then from the command line, just type 'enscript foo.html' and
the code should come out on your printer.  Be sure to use 'enscript' and NOT
simple 'lpr' since a lot of HP printers seem to choke on plain text files
(enscript converts the plain text into PostScript, a much friendlier format
for HP printers).

HTH.
