Here's one way:
------------------------------html2pdf.py----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
import os,sys
inputFilename,outputFilename = sys.argv[1:3]
os.system("w3m -dump %s | a2ps -B --borders=no | ps2pdf - %s" % (inputFilename,outputFilename))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll need to install a2ps. It's available as a standard
package for all the distros I've ever used.

Either your ghostscript installation is broken, or you've tried
to use an output path/file that's not writable. I suspect the
latter.

Right. I forgot that I've adjusted my a2ps defaults to using a
single column and a readable font size instead of the standard
2-up tiny-font mode.
