RAW and EMFSPOOL are predefined.  The printer driver might define other
types, but few do so.

You have to render the HTML, just like a browser would.  That, of
course, is not a trivial task, especially if you have tables and
stylesheets.  You could use Internet Explorer to do this, or embed one
of the other browsers.

Perhaps you should look at the wx.html.HtmlEasyPrinting module in
wxPython.  It doesn't take arbitrary HTML, but it works for generating
reports and things.
