How can I print html documents in Python on Windows?

;-)

1. You start the Microsoft Internet Explorer and make some space on the
Desktop for a Python shell window.
2. You start the Python shell and position it within the prepared space
3. Still looking at the Python shell you load the document into the
Internet Explorer and then use its menu [File] -> [Print] to invoke
printing (don't forget to keep your eye on the Python shell...)

P.S. There are many options to automate usage of MSIE from Python, so
maybe if you explain what you actually intend to achieve, someone else
can give you a better advice.

I think the automation of opening of html in IE, then the printing of
it would be possible. Would you be able to tell me how that is done?
