270582 - no print command from commandline

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 100571

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, enhancement)

Description

[jan klopper]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Firefox, and mozilla etc, do not have a commandline flasg which prints the askes
url.
I think this is needed if people want to print lots of documents/urls (html and
other gecko supported formats) with the gecko engine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.see if there is a print option
2.notice there is no command line option.
3.

Actual Results:  
i need enter the url and then to use the print menu inside firefox/mozilla dn
press all of the buttons.

Expected Results:  
I would live to see a -print flag for the commandline which uses the default
printer settings used in the current/given firefox profile and then just prints
the page, possibily even without opening a firefox window.
This would be very nice to batch process for example a list of bookmarks/files
from the commandline.

This enhancement will also be very usefull for me. I'd like to automate the PDF generation of an intranet web page (dayly project report) in order to send it to people that do not have acces to this intranet.

I tryed to use the html2ps tool, but the result is not good enought.
