I'd be surprised if the first step in the easiest way to do this wasn't 
(1) install an X server.

This is sort of a way to do it using RubyGnome. But again, needs X, Gtk 
and Ruby-gnome: http://rubyurl.com/Yjk

There was definitely a website out there that would take pictures of 
your page for you, on different platforms, but I can't seem to find it. 
Perhaps it would be possible to hook up with that.

best,
Dan
