Can you print to a PostScript file?  If so, can you open it in GV?

Don't know.  The command line looks OK.

There are a lot of broken web pages out there.  I can suggest no cure 
for the problem.  Sometimes running them through the W3C validator and 
writing to the webmaster if they fail can help.  Usually, I find that 
owners of broken web pages don't know that they are broken -- many don't 
know that there are standards for the code.
