If it is going to a *web browser*, just send simple HTML (eg, not fun
and games with iframes and whatnot), include a .css file with '@media
print' rules. All major web browser know how to print a web page to
whatever passes as the local printer. So long as the stylesheet's
'@media print' rules are reasonably generic and don't play excessive
games with fonts and so long as the page to be printed is not 'colorful'
and is without images, it should be possible for the web browser to send
it to any sort of printer without too much trouble and with a reasonable
faithfulness to the formatting.
