I've not used print style sheets before, but I believe you can just set certain elements to display:none in your screen stylesheet but set those same elements to display:anotherValue for whatever the element is. So, if you were to put the content you want displayed on screen in one div that always shows and put the other content in a div with display:none for the screen stylesheet but display:block for the print stylesheet, it ought to work.
If the articles are being pulled from a database, you can query for 1-n items which will go in the first, visible box, then the remaining items (n+1 to the end) would go in the hidden box. Hope this helps, Chris A.
