    Printing a URL from the command line

    Hi guys,

    I've got a PHP web app that I need to be able to issue a shell command (shell_exec) that will print a URL to a nearby printer via CUPS. Is there any kind of program that can do this? (can lpr do this?)

    The app will be running locally but I was planning to pass certain variables to the page via URL variables. Even something that would allow me to save the HTML result from a page view would help.

    Thanks guys.
