For several years now, I've been using mostly mac os x, both as at home and at work, and I'm quite satisfied with it. However, it's still quite far from perfect, and lots of features are missing or buggy. Buggy features are worse than missing ones, because they almost work, so they are even more frustrating.

One of these very frustrating buggy features is Address Book's printing function, which is basically just unusable. However, it would be great if one could just print one's Address Book, for example to get a pocket phone book, or to get a paper backup, or whatever. But it doesn't work...

After browsing maybe half of the (F) web, I was right about to give up when I finally found HTMLize Address Book, a piece of applescript that turned out to do almost what I needed. So I tweaked it a little for my needs, and cheers: I was finally able to get my printed address book.

Here is the result of this work, offered back to the community.

Feel free to copy it, modify it and/or to host it elsewhere, because it won't be here forever.

Edit (2008-05-05) This is a new version of the script with some minor improvements due to suggestions of Mac OS X Hints posters. Thanks !
