web page screenshots

Anybody know of an application which will automate the process of taking screen shots of webpages? html2ps sucks and does not produce interpretable output

If you've got a copy of Adobe Acrobat, you can 'print' web pages to PDF files...

Thats what I usually do instead of physically printing reciepts of stuff I buy online.

Needs to be automated within a php script. i just want a small thumbnail of a website.

One thing i tried was html2pdf then pdf2jpeg but they dont like eachother

Does pdf2jpeg work for a "normal" pdf?
And does html2ps produce a proper PostScript file?

If yes then try ps2pdf (heh yes, add yet another step to that complicated process)..

Otherwise if you have access to a copy of VB, you could chuck an Internet Explorer control on a form, have it navigate to the web site, take a screen shot into a Picture object and save that as a Jpeg...
