I am in the same situation. My page  is displaying a table in html.
The customer wants to print  this table in multipule page, with column
header in each page.

I don't think html can do this by default. I would also like to know
if we can write some java script to make this happen.

Actually, it can be written so that the table headers go on each page. I have
gotten this to work before in IE by dividing the table up into header and body
sections. There's also some CSS magic that has to go along with it. I wish I
could find you the specific code, but I don't have it in front of me. But I
will say that it is possible.

It is possible to divide the content  into multiple  pages by
using "page break after" tag. The tag forces page  break while
printing.
