I have googled and searched around for ways to render the HTML via command line but have not found any results. What should I do for this? Do i have to pipe it through a browser to print? any examples would be appriciated...

You can use tools like HTMLDOC to convert the HTML to PDF or
PostScript, and pipe into the lp/lpr commands:

     htmldoc --webpage -t ps filename.html | lp -d printer

You can find HTMLDOC at:
