I think that Netsurf will also output as a Draw file which can easily
be printed.

Mnn.. I've just discovered that Netsurf outputs as a PDF file. I
think that I knew that but had forgotten. Memory is not what it was.

Just outputs the drawfile as a long blob. That means it has to be post
processed in something else like !SplitDraw to chop it up in to page
sizes.

DrawPrint. Easy, flexible, and previews on screen...

Plus you can talk to them at the Wakefield Show in a couple of weeks
or so if you want.

Shall we get some perspective here ladies, gentlemen and others... And as
much as I appreciate your input...
All I wanted was a way to get a RO browser to print out a few pages
correctly.

I really didn't want to end up having to purchase a Word processor,
something I'd never use.
I really didn't want to end up with a lot of work created by third part
applications.
All I wanted was a RO browser that could print four pages as a reasonable
facsimile of what was on the screen.

Two incredibly simple answers emerged.(The one I used before posting).

1) Double clicked the HTML is was automatically sent to a PC and Firefox,
clicked the Print icon in Firefox and out came the four pages as near
perfect as one could ask for from an HTML doc.

2) Something I'd forgotten until reminded by Peter.
Ovation Pro, which I use for most text and graphics things, took the html
and graphics and rendered them quite well, requiring only minor
adjustments to the graphic positions.

The major advantage being if I needed to, I could edit/reformat the
document, which is not possible using the Draw method so beloved (it
seems) by some.

For what it's worth I do have a couple of apps (including the one noted
above) for chopping up Drawfiles in to printable bits, unfortunately too
much work/fiddle getting them to *not* chop a graphic, or even a line of
text over two pages.
