I believe a lot of stuff is turned on by default (server daemons,
etc.) Kill em or disable in the appropriate startup files.

Read the dtlogin man page.  I believe the command to disable it from starting on boot is 

/usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -d

but it has been a few years since I played with CDE (xig.com version)

Note: the "ttdb{whatever}" daemons that CDE uses to communicate
between processes tend to use a lot of RAM and are big security holes
(IMHO).  So turning off CDE keeps these from starting too.

If not, check out the html2ps or html2pdf utilities (part of the
HTMLDOC package I think).  Then pull down the web pages you want using
the wget utility and rip a PDF from it.
