Along those lines... there are always "THOSE" reports and "THOSE" users
who must absolutely have it on paper.  How are people handling "pages"
of a traditional columnar-style report?  Are there any new HTML "tweaks"
I haven't heard of to generate page ejects when a document is printed?
I can see using horizontal bars on the screen to break pages (and
duplicate column headings), but that won't necessarily look good on
paper.

A good example - we have the ability now to generate class rolls for
faculty.  This works great for one class at a time.  But it soon lead to
complaints of "why do I have to do this for every one?  Can't you give
me all my classes?"  Naturally they want them on separate pages...

Is <cough> Acrobat <wheeze> the only alternative?
