[Fwd: Here's how: Possible to automatically print the output]

This will output the websec output to the printer, but it is possible to
create a shell script to do the same so it will print the actual file to
the printer. Or you can tell websec to print the html to stdout.

Here's how to do it.

1. Websec creates the new html file with changes highlighted
2. htmldoc   (http://www.htmldoc.org/) converts the html to postscript
or pdf
3. gs  (uses ghostscript)  can convert to printer language (pcl)  and
many other formats too.

# One piped to another,  flags not shown here.
% websec | htmldoc |  gs  |  lpr

So....

Websec notices changes in my monitored site and the output goes straight
to the printer.
(since I dont have time to actually sit down and read e-mail).
