Depending on the level of formatting you want:

    for file in *.html
	do
		# select one of the following lines for your formatting
		#   preference:
	    lynx -dump $file | lpr
	    lynx -dump $file | pr | lpr
	    lynx -dump $file | pr | mpage -2 | lpr
	done

...note that lynx is a text-mode browser and that it will render only
the textual components of the webpages.  I don't know a general solution
to question of printing graphically rendered web content.  Netscape may
have some command-line functionality for this, but I wouldn't be sure of
that.
