I have a Web server set up under FreeBSD 2.0R (Soon to be 2.0.5 and then 2.1 :)

What I have:
Lab schedules in a MicroSoft Word 6.0 for Windows Table
Lab Schedules in HTML

What I want: 
I have a CGI script to handle room reservations.  I would like to expand the 
script to automatically add it to the schedule and print a new copy of the 
schedule in a graphics format (a table).  I want to get rid of the Word 
version, and go completely UNIX with it.  I need something that can take a set 
of data and create a table in PostScript (for use with GhostScript), HP GL/2, 
or PCL.  Alternatively, I need something that will take HTML/SGML and convert 
it to one of those formats.

Any ideas?

Also, does anyone have Termcap entries for an HP DeskJet 500 and/or HP 
LaserJet 4si?

Thanks!
