printing an HTML file on a windows printer

[dutch]

Greetings.

I'm attempting to print an existing html file to a network printer.

I tried opening a socket connection using the printer ip and port. With this, I was able to print the file path/name on the printer, ala...

[CODE=perl] my $socket = IO::Socket::INE T->new(PeerAddr => $peerAddr,
PeerPort => $peerPort,
Proto => 'tcp',
Type => SOCK_STREAM,
);

# If we can't print, display an error message and quit.
if (! $socket) {
my $errorText = "Couldn't connect to printer at $peerAddr\:$pee rPort : $@\n";
printLog($ERROR , $method, $errorText, __LINE__);
displayErrorWin ($errorText);

exitScript(1);
}

printLog($DEBUG , $method,
"##### Printing file: $fullFilePath to: $peerAddr\:$pee rPort",
__LINE__);

print $socket $fullFilePath;[/CODE]
This at least showed I can "talk" to the printer.

Next, I tried various flavors of using HTML::Stream without any success.

I can print the html file from Internet Explorer.
I appreciate any help.

I thank you,
Dutch
