Awesome : http://wkhtmltopdf.org/

wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage are open source (LGPLv3) command line tools to render HTML into PDF and various image formats using the QT Webkit rendering engine.

Somebody wrote a blog post about this a few years back. There are examples in several languages, using both WebKit and Mozilla. There's also an example in Ruby.

It boils down to this: decide how wide you want your window to be; put a browser component in the window; wait until the page loads; capture the pixel buffer contents.
