Well CSS2 has separate "@media" styles which you can be used for printing. This has a concept of page-length!!!

But AFAIK that's only supported by browsers and you have to fiddle around with preset browsersettings like pagemargins and pagenumber and so on... not really a reliable approach for server programming.

Anyway I'm using this for printing¹ some private html-pages with firefox...

(¹) ...and of course I can also directly print to a PDF-file.
