I want to get us to CSS only, but dev wise that can be a bit of a pain in the arse to get to in my experience, death by a thousand minor bugs. Getting these changes folded into the site soon is my aim as otherwise it'll end up becoming a dead fork.
So either: a) we should roll back to the table style for header and footer for the moment; or b) we should just ignore it and wait for complaints to come in :)
We should probably do a).
Once it's in and the site is on the new look, we can start css optimising without keeping as much of a change between old and new.
Does a) sound okay?

This is probably due to the large table. I've stumbled across this a few times in the past. When printing, Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape sometimes (not allways) tries to fit a table on one printed page. Here's a rundown on what goes on inside the browser:
1. Can I fit the first div and the following table on one page? No 2. OK, print the first div on page number 1 3. Can I fit the table on one page? No 4. What the heck, print it to page number 2 anyway
This usually happens when you have a table that is longer than one printed page. Who was it that invented printing in browsers anyway?
One way to overcome this problem is to do a 3-column layout without tables. It can be done [1][2][3] and that actually helps us use the css attributes that Sebb talked about. [3] is great reading if you just want to learn more about css layout.

Looking good. Just noticed a peculiarity with FireFox: print preview shows only the
logo and 1st HR on the first page; the rest appears on subsequent
pages.

Might be worth considering using the CSS attribute display:none for the side columns on some pages when the output is a printer.

Your changes do the same as mine did, so it wasn't the 1% or 98% bit in my
.page-header. Also, when you switch to a div the container no longer
stretches across the screen and so the border line only goes under the logo
and not all the way across.
That's not good. I'll do some digging and see if I can get it to work.
Okay, jakarta-3tier.html updated with your latest suggestions. Looks good
and every step to cleaner html is a good step.
Thanks :)
