If you can I'd suggest making a PDF document instead of doing this in HTML. There are packages such as iText.jar (found on SorceForge) that will allow you to dynamically create the PDF (as you mentioned needing to run some queries which I assume means the form may have a few versions)

Subject: Printable forms in HTML
Does anyone have experience with producing an official form in HTML that
can also be printed? I am required to take a pre-existing official form
(hard copy, not electronic) and make it appear in HTML for end users. I
have to query some of the information on the form from a database. The
user needs to be able to print this HTML page to local printer and not
lose the formatting. Any help, suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
