This program converts HTML directly to PostScript. The HTML code can be retrieved from one or more URLs or local files, specified as parameters on the command line. A comprehensive level of HTML is supported, including inline images, CSS 1.0, and some features of HTML 4.0.

This is our justification for the suggests list:

We suggest ghostscript since it is required in order to output DSC compliant PS (–dsc option) and make cross references at links within the set of converted documents (–xref option).

We suggest weblint-perl because it’s the default method for checking HTML syntax (use the -c option).

We suggest texlive-base because we need TeX hyphenation pattern in order to hyphenate text (use -H option).

We suggest postscript-viewer because this package generates postscripts that can be viewed on a postscript-viewer.

We suggest xhtml2ps because it’s a interesting graphical interface for this package.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install html2ps
