I did an ASP project a while back that required page breaks on print. After
head banging by a lot of people, I came up with the following code.
When printed from "most" browsers, it prints in what looks like page breaks
because of the way browsers try to not break images. If you tie your text
content to an image (that is around 80% of the page height) with a table,
the browser will print what looks to the user as page breaks.
You might need to adjust the height of the spacer, but I think this is the
number that worked in Netscape and IE 3 up.
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="10"><img src="spacer.gif" width="1" height="450"></td>
<td>Page One Content</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="10"><img src="spacer.gif" width="1" height="450"></td>
<td>Page Two Content</td>
</tr>
</table>

Don't think page break is implemented in Navigator.
