Answer 2

If you don't need the internet explorer to do this, you could use htmlunit to do the job:

HtmlUnit is a "GUI-Less browser for Java programs". It models HTML documents and provides an API that allows you to invoke pages, fill out forms, click links, etc... just like you do in your "normal" browser.

With htmlunit you can't take a snapshot in form of a jpeg, bug you can access the html code of the page which you can use instead.
