I've also found that to be non-trivial--to the point where I never
figured out how to do it despite some extra help from Josh.  Perhaps
Gentoo has a better setup, but I wasn't able to find such an option in
either ArchLinux or FreeBSD.

One ugly workaround that pretty much works for me is to paste a page
into OpenOffice which seems to automagically convert to PS2.  

I haven't followed this thread, however, I'm guessing that the question
is how to print Japanese web pages.

Willow: Nervous?
 Xander: No way. I'm full of that good old kamikazee spirit.
 Giles: Xander, just because this is never going to work, there's no
need to be negative.
