well i'm working on scrpt that an do that, but you probably won't be able to 
do this without x server.

check this:
http://khtml2png.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=about (uses khtml rendering 
engine, not sure if it requires X)
http://pearlcrescent.com/products/pagesaver/ (uses firefox with plugin, I'm 
SURE it requires X+Firefox, poblably no way to install plugin on shared 
hosting too)


if you wrtite the script, please share your expirience, you can e-mail me 
directly ^^
